As we get older, most people try to avoid birthday parties. Perhaps because it reminds us that time passes quickly? But there are still birthday parties that each of us would like to attend. It’s the dog’s birthday! Yes, it’s real. Dogs have birthdays too.

One member of the dog family, a Chihuahua named Odin, recently had a birthday party that was a huge success. Odin’s family did everything in their power to make this big day a truly grand occasion.

One of the dogs is a rescue dog from Mexico who was adopted by Joyce Cetina and her family three years ago. Although he is a small dog, he has a lot of love for the Cetina family. The only thing the family could do to show their gratitude to Odin was to throw him a birthday party that he would remember for the rest of his life. They put up Christmas decorations, ordered a dog cake made especially for Odin, and made everything a surprise.

And boy, he was surprised!

“At first, he was a little confused. He didn’t understand what it was all about,” Joyce said. “Then he saw the attention was focused on him, and the cake was for him. He was very happy.”

Just look at that smile! Odin truly looked amazed by everything.

No party is complete without a happy birthday song. It was the highlight of Odin’s party. See it for yourself!

Odin enjoyed his cake and the many presents he got that day.

But what he enjoyed the most were the many hugs and kisses he received from his family.

Love was in the air.

Love IS in the air all-year-round. Ever since the Cetina family got Odin, he’s been nothing but loved all the time.

“Of course, Odin is loved and pampered all year round,” Joyce said. “But for us, this is an important day because it’s the day he came into our lives. He makes us very happy.”

Happy birthday, Odin, and many more to come!
