Welcome to Coco's Birthday Party!

Thank you all so much for taking the time out to celebrate with Coco the collie, some of my blogger friends and me!

Coco is a very special part of my life and my family's life, as some of you are fellow dog lovers and pet owners you know what I'm talking about. Even though there's a cat in my family, dogs hold that special place in my heart. Ever since I was a young girl I've always had a love for the furry and I've had dogs from around age five. Coco was not my first collie however, she is the first sable colored collie that I've had the privilege to share my home with. Just in case you want to know, my first collie was a tri-colored (black, white and tan) named, are you ready for this...Fuzzy. I was around seven or eight and a name like Max or Billy wasn't cutting it no matter how much my mom begged me to chose a "normal" name LOL! Anywho ever since "The Fuzz" (that was the most popular of his nicknames ) I've had a great love of collies but after he died around 12 years ago I've never owned another...until Coco!

Since Coco is such a special four-legged friend I thought it would be fun to gather together a few of my people who also love dogs and critters of the feline persuasion etc. to celebrate pets and what they mean to us! I'm so pleased to have you join me and I hope that you enjoy each and every post because I know I do! Just a warning, grab some tissues because you may need them!

And what's a party without presents right? Well I am going to give away three birthday prize packs! While I'm not going to tell you exactly what all the gifts will be here's a list to tease you!

Brand new Lassie DVD and 2 books
