his DREAM party

McKay was invited to his cousin Ethan's (aka Eto) puppy themed birthday party last week.

All the other kids were totally into it, and having fun.

But my boy. . . my boy. . .

. . .was a real dog. He wore his dog shirt, naturally, but he also was the only boy/dog who kept his collar on. After decorating their own collars with stickers most of the boys took them off to play games. Not this dog. He kept it on nearly the whole time. He was in this position, shoulders hunched up like that, for about a half hour straight trying to keep his collar from falling off. Just frozen that way. It was entertaining for us adults to watch him stay in character the whole time. He really thought he was a dog.

He did take his collar off for the dog show. That there is "Dog" who he sleeps with every night. His name is just Dog, but when all the other boys were naming their dogs Spot, Spotty, Spotto and Spotter McKay decided Dog needed a little name sprucing. So Dog temporarily became "Housey" to be fancy for the party.

You can see these boys all loved the party.

But maybe none as much as my little dog.
