Happy Birthday Oto!

Our little pup turned 1 year old this week. We celebrated with lengthly visits to the dog park and a new tunnel toy. Oto! also got some special pupcakes. The first one was plain and the second one was served with peanut butter frozen paws ice cream for dogs and garnished with a sprig of mint and fresh blueberries. Oto was born February 18, 2009 and is a red sesame shiba inu. He was the only boy and has 3 creamy sisters of the same litter. Oto! has an exclaimation mark in his official name and looks just like his dad Acheles while his sisters look like their mom Briseis.
