Fritz is a year old!

I didn’t want Fritz’s birthday to overshadow the inauguration (it’s difficult when two events of equal global importance fall on the same day!), but it’s almost midnight, so I have to hurry up and beat the clock so I can wish my little guy a HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY!

In honor of the event, Fritz was allowed to eat half a tin of dog-friendly carrot cake on the table. (Bruno got the other half, but he had to eat on the floor.)

I can’t believe Fritz is technically no longer a puppy. He’s just a little speck! A baby schmutz! My Fritzy Doodle Dandy! He’s a problem child, yes, but he’s so completely full of love and sweetness and I love him to pieces.

Here’s to you, Fritzy! Happy birthday.

    awww, “Fritzy Doodle Dandy.” I love to hear people’s “pet” names for their pets. Lucky boys… to have doggie carrot cake!

    My Fritz sends your Fritz best wishes.
    My Fritz has also forbidden me from ever calling him Fritzy Doodle Dandy. (and he sends condolences to your Fritz for having to endure such indignancy).

    Happy Birthday Fritz. I know how hard the first year with a puppy can be. Rewarding but difficult. Lucky he is so cute.

    Happy Birthday, Fritz! I love the look of him eyeing his cake (and probably wondering how the candle tastes).

    Brings up fond memories of Burger’s 2nd birthday “party”:

    Seeing as how my cat was a year old when I got him, I figure his birthday is the day he came to my home.

    I would like to know if Fitz is a full bred chiuahah?

    I have a long haired and was wondering if he is able to mate

    Jenice, Fritz is a purebred Chihuahua, but he has been neutered.

    For the record, I do not believe in or condone hobby breeding, and recommend strongly that you have your Chihuahua spayed.
