A Big Dog Party
by Joey Bokor
Anyone remember that book by P. D. Eastman called Go Dog, Go? That was one of our favorites to read to the
girls when they were a few years younger. The dogs go on lots of adventures and at some point, we find out
where they are all going. To a dog party, a big dog party.
Recently, Abby and Maddy had a sleep-over at their grandparents' house to prepare for a dog birthday party. They made dog lollipops out of chew sticks and each dog in attendance went home with their own Paw-ty Bag. But the highlight of the party started with an idea that Maddy came up with a few months ago. Maddy loves dogs and loves giving them treats. My mom had some Frosty Paws, like an Italian Ice for dogs, in her freezer and Maddy loved the way the dogs couldn't stop lick-lick-licking away at the cold treat. (How many licks does it take to get to the center?) Then the next time she visited, my mom was out of Frosty Paws. But Maddy is scrappy. She came up with her own 'easy' recipes to make Frosty Paws at home. The day she wrote them down not all of the ingredients were available, but for this dog party, my mom made sure to have everything the recipes called for on hand. The home-made icy treats were a hit at the party, with both the dogs and apparently the humans. They were the perfect way to top off a dog birthday party. And just like the dogs in the story, after the party, everyone curled up for a great night's sleep. It was quite the party.
