portuguese water dog puppy party

remember the litter of porty puppies my mom's dog had this year? well we had them all over for a little visit to see how they've grown. the puppies remembered each other and were such cute playmates. all the families are in love with their puppies and it is so exciting to see others as excited about them as we are. this party was a little more casual than molly's party.

a mackerel cake to celebrate the occasion. we are crazy people. just crazy.

and poor maggie next door wasn't invited. so amie gave her a hug.
