Our Bayley turned 6 years old on Saturday and in honor of the festivities, we threw him a big 'ole birthday bash..with doggie birthday cake, flip cup, good friends, good food, and good drink:) This dog deserves to live another 10 years. He truly is a remarkable animal who touches the heart of everyone he meets. In my head I can spell out how absolutely wonderful he is but when I write it down it just doesn't ever seem to convey to the same magnitude. His soul is ginormous (that's a word right?) and his spirit will live on forever. Mac and I both know and accept that no other dog that we will accept into our family will ever compare to Bay. He's one in a million!
This picture was taken the day after his birthday party when the cake was already eaten, the people had left, the helium balloons had shriveled into rubber raisins, and I was busy cleaning up the debri. I turn around and he is sitting in the family room with this dopey look on his face (like he's wondering where all the fun went) right next to his balloon. I swear I didn't pose him this time. My mom and I just started cracking up and then I ran for the camera! Moments like these....
The Birthday Boy
Come on mom, the neighbors are watching!
Mac made this 'flip cup' table for the party and Ella broke it in by dancing on it....she even got a dollar for her performance!
Christine sneaking in a bite of cake before bedtime, behind Tom's back
Grandma and Poppop came to party too!
"Oh Baabbbyyy"
Bayley opening his birthday presents
He literally opens his gifts...he tears the wrapping paper off, spits it out and continues until he gets his gift. It's amazing to watch.
Thank you to everyone for all of his gifts. We are blessed to have such amazing friends who care about Bayley and are constantly asking Mac and I how we are handling everything. Despite his diagnosis...we are happy knowing that we have friends like y'all.
Bayley even had a beer. I figured he was of age since in dog years, he's about 42.
The doggie birthday cake...made from 100% human grade ingredients. Looks delicious but tastes extremely bland:)
Sniff, sniff....ho hum...get in my belly!

Licking every last crumb! Where's the milk to wash this thing down?
We also celebrated Jess's birthday too! Her cake was much better!
Mommy and Bay
Andy, Heidi, and Bri
A view of Mac's table creation...it was genious! The red Solo cups brought us all back to our college days.
My turn in flip cup. It was West Virginia Univeristy graduates against Ohio natives. Take one guess who won! O-H-I-O
After everyone left, Bayley was found relaxing on the couch, tennis ball in mouth, paw on the remote. Typical man.

My ham! Happy 6th Birthday Bayley! We love you!
