hi i´m lorraine happily married with 2 kids, peter 15 and kate 12. I have 2 yorkshire terriers jack who is 3 year old in may. we had a great party for him for his previous 2 birthdays with banners, balloons and a special chicken recipe birthday cake made just for dogs, he is a little sweety who loves to curl up with me and have lots of cuddles, he does have a playful side especially when my second yorkshire terrier encourages him to play, his name is jim bob but we call him jimmy, he is 3years old in november, also had fab parties lol and a bundle of fluffy energy. i absolutely love my dogs, i dont see them as dogs theyre my furry babies, little people in fur coats lol. i believe if you have a dog in your family, ya treat them as family.
