Dog and Cat Party Fun
By: Mrs. Party... Gail Leino
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to - la la, la la la. Okay, so I don't know the words to the song but I do know bringing a dog or cat to a party needs to be approved first by the party host. Double check the front of the <font color="#000000">party invitation</font>, who was it addressed to? Did it include your pet? If not, then a friendly chat with the host should be done before bringing your animal. It is an easy oversight, even if the <font color="#000000"> invitation</font> was <font color="#000000">engraved</font>, to forget inviting a pet. So use kindness when speaking with the host. It is not recommended asking the host if your pet can come to a few types of events like a <font color="#000000">wedding</font>, <font color="#000000"> baby shower</font>, <font color="#000000">baby naming</font> party or <font color="#000000"> bridal shower</font> . Once the host agrees to your pet coming to the party, there is a few simple rules of etiquette to follow.
First, be sure to have your pet brings the hostess a gift, like <font color="#000000">gift baskets</font> or <font color="#000000">flowers</font>. In addition, bring the hostesses pets <font color="#000000"> party favors</font>. Next, bring along extra pooper scoopers. Have your pet dressed appropriately like wearing a <font color="#000000"> bandana</font> or <font color="#000000"> Halloween</font> costume. If it is a <font color="#000000"> theme party</font> like <font color="#000000">luau</font>, <font color="#000000"> Mardi Gras</font>, <font color="#000000"> Super Bowl</font>, <font color="#000000">Christmas</font>, <font color="#000000">Hanukkah</font>, or other <font color="#000000"> holiday</font> choose a festive matching pet outfit. Animals tend to have different diets, so bringing along pet food and bottled water is a good idea, too. Be thoughtful by bringing your own bowls and placemat for when your pet dines. Your pet should not rely on the hostess for any special requirements. So, don't expect the hostess to provide your pet with a <font color="#000000"> party favor</font>. Although the hostess might invite your pet, not all hostesses will think ahead of time about having <font color="#000000"> party supplies</font> for your pet, too. Thus, prepare your pet for any possible disappointment. Remember, <font color="#000000">glow sticks</font> are not pet friendly party favors.
