Hip-Hip Hurray - it's Athena's 2nd Birthday!

- and all of her daycare pals have signed her card.

We've made a yummy peanut butter and banana cake just for the Birthday Girl -

And here she is - all ready.

Awww Athena, you are SO adorable!

Sporting her new bandana, Athena checks out her treats before greeting her guests.

- and then it's play time!

Athena is thrilled to see her buddy Zoe.

The Queen of the Castle surveys her kingdom from the jungle gym.

Everyone is having so much fun at Athena's birthday party.

Okay party pups - Who Wants Cake?

The guest of honor waits patiently (with a little help).

And then the first piece is cut -

- it smells sooooo good!

Mmmm - and tastes even better!

Who's next?

All the pups are so well behaved sitting for their cake.

They will all get a big piece.

Wash my cake down with a Buddy Biscuit? Yes please!

Even the smallest guests, Chase (foreground) and Recon share in the goodies.

Then it's back out to the playground to soak up some sunshine!

Athena: "Was your party this much fun?"

Zoe: "Oooh yeah!"

I'm so glad you could come.

Now, let's play!

Athena had a fantastic Birthday.

- and then unwound with a stroll on our nature trail.

Thank-you for sharing your special day with us Athena!

Hope it was everything you wished for, honey.
