I went to a shower. For a dog.
Written by Annie on October 19th, 2009A DOG.
I know. It was a magical combination between totally bizarro and totally awesome.
Because it was just like a baby shower. Minus the baby. Plus a dog.
A cute dog. Named Murphy.
And here’s another fact: Doggy has 2 mommies- Graham and her roomie. And it was a surprise for Mommy #2 (Roomie) and Murphy. The dog.
So I attended a surprise dog shower.
I know. Hilarious. And just in case you can’t tell, that sign says “IT’S A BOY!”
Have. You. Ever.
And here is the food- mostly puppy related. Dog bone shaped cookies, puppy chow, and dogs in a blanket. [Also known as pigs in a blanket, but we're saving that for the piglet shower we're throwing next week.]
And of course, what baby puppy shower is complete without the gifts?
Here’s Murphy with our friend Craig. That’s really cute. But Murphy, it is no replacement for writing thank you notes. Just cause you are a dog doesn’t mean you don’t have to follow etiquette. You are a southern puppy and you will write thank you notes.
Adam was just checking the iPaw, I guess, to make sure the music was appropriate for Murphy. He’s young. We have to censor what goes into his little mind.
If you know how much I love puns, then you know that the “iPaw” kept me in stitches.
As did the “Chewy Vuiton” plush toy purse.
And the stuffed high heel?
“Manolo Barknik.”
That. Is. Funny.

This is a new one for this girl. Never heard of such a thing! Cute little maltese, though.
I worked for a Vet for 5 years, and the groomer had all sorts of designer cologne for dogs. Timmy Hole Digger, CK-9, and Beautifur. It was pretty funny.

I hope our new puppy, Colonel, doesn’t read this blog. He’s going to feel so unloved. He was given nary a shower….but he desperately needs a bath.
Wait a minute, I’m so silly. He’s a puppy! He can’t read…yet!

this isn’t actually that bad of an idea, from a trainer’s perspective! it is a chance to socialize your puppy and also get some supplies to get you started as a dog owner. i love that they took the theme to the highest level

I love it!! I definitely want to have a party whenever I get my big fluffy white dog! Though, I will say that the little fluffy white dog is adorable

Oh my word. I think I’ll tuck this away for that next “One time I heard about this [insert mildly bizarre story here]” moment. Hilarious.

1. That is the CUTEST ball of fur I have ever seen!! Is Murphy a Maltese?
2. I am soooo upset that no one threw me a puppy shower for either of my pups! Jealous!!
3. Those toys (and their names) are hilarious. I can’t buy cute toys like that, my dogs would eat them in like 10 mins.
