The Red Plate Tradition for pets?

Remember when I told you about the Red Plate tradition we have in our family?

My daughter has already begun to pass it on…

to our cat. :)

Charlie turned one year old recently with a big celebration, complete with balloons (that my daughter insisted on getting and paying for with her own money–it was pretty cute)…

party balloons floating to ceiling
a catnip present (that she paid for too)…

and a birthday cake made out of wet food and treats–on one of our Red Plates

“Get the video camera!” she insisted, gathering us together to sing Happy Birthday. 

And yes,

I admit,

I did get the camera,

and we did sing.

I’m not sure if Charlie felt special or not.

But our daughter did.

And that’s what matters, right? :)

  1. Oh I think that is so very sweet that she did that! Children do love birthday celebrations, my daughter is the same and for me, a person who historically has not been overenthusiastic about birthdays, it has added a new dimension and joy to every such event, even my own :-) I love the birthday cake she made!

  2. We have this very plate too! Love that your daughter has such a tender and loving heart toward not only the people in her life, but the family cat too. :)
