After my 7 minutes of Burpees (YAY BURPEES!) WOD on Friday night
I headed to a Girls Night party hosted by some of my coworkers.
I was a little worried because I was a sweaty, nasty, still-in-my-gym-clothes mess, but they still let me in the house. ;)
The girls (super fantastic, awesome, sweet girls) that I work with (TOTALLY) surprised me and threw me a
PUPPY SHOWER
for miss Olivia Ann.
yup, you read that right.
a PUPPY SHOWER.
like a baby shower, but for my puppy.
Let me back up a little bit...
Earlier in the week our office had a baby shower for two girls in my office.
It's an ongoing joke (that never gets old - hardy har har) that everyone is waiting for me to get pregnant.
so when someone asked, "When is it gonna be your turn?"
I very matter-of-factly said, "I'm still waiting for my puppy shower."
so... they listened.
and completely surprised me!
Huge thanks to Kathy, Jenny, Whit-dawg, LindsAy, LindsEy, Lisa, Sandee, Michelle and my Momma.
Whit even made a fake invitation.
so amazing.
the goodies!
Olivia got a pink hoodie, a special cookie (which must have had doggie crack in it, because she went NUTS when we gave her a piece), a chewy bone, lint roller, toothbrush, bacon treats, and pooper-scooper baggies and a holder.

the pink hoodie and cookie.
I was so excited.
Can you imagine what I'll be like when I actually get pregnant??
As soon as I got home I immediately tried to put the hoodie on Olivia.
I guess she's a little bigger than I thought.
it was just a little snug.
(and that's a bone in her mouth, not her paw...)
Luckily, we were able to exchange her hoodie for a pretty pink sweater.
isn't she darling??
Unfortunately... she wasn't a fan.
the sweater had loops for the back legs, kind of like a jock strap, but pink.
she did NOT like those straps.
once we took them off, she was a little better...
the fact that Diz was holding treats over my head had NOTHING to do with her posing perfectly.
nope... nothing. ;)
Anyone else ever get a puppy (or kitty) shower?
Do you dress your puppy in clothes?
Oh MY GOODNESS! Ash, that is TOO cute!! What a nice surprise!
ReplyDeleteAsh, I am seroiusly laughing out loud at your puppy shower. Ommmmggggg.
ReplyDeleteThat has to be one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time!
ReplyDeleteA puppy shower!! I love it!! Great idea (even if it was supposed to be funny!) :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't have a puppy shower for my pups, but THAT is a super adorable idea! I love your pup - so cute!! :) The pictures a great.
ReplyDeleteMine just have winter coats that they wear if we are going to be out in the snow! :)
Totally made my day. :) You have some pretty awesome friends. That sweater is quite possibly the cutest thing ever. love it.
ReplyDeleteomg, you all are TOO adorbs!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how quickly Olivia is growing! She's a gorgeous puppy!
No puppy shower for Jetta; we manage to spoil her enough on a regular basis that it's not a loss.
Jetta's not a fan of clothing. I can't reliably get booties on her yet to take her for walks in the cold. I haven't yet been able to convince her that we'd walk far more in the brrr-cold weather if she wore them.
But the little "flap-flap" noise her hind feet make for the 1/2 block I can get her to walk in them is worth it because it's so darned cute. That and watching her try to get *both* hind legs off the ground at once because she's irritated by the boots... It's the cutest thing. I keep thinking I should get her a coat. But I'm not entirely sure how well she'd tolerate it.
Can't wait to meet you when you come to the Cities!
