Cleo had her fabulous one years old birthday party at The Park Saturday. Her best friend Ruby was there wearing a custom made "Happy Birthday Cleo" t-shirt. Holly the shiba inu who rides with me and Maddie to The Park came all the way from Armonk with her (ahem) owner Jeff, Petey who is part of the Marty/Maddie dogpark family was there, Polly and Charlie the wee spaniels were there: Polly sporting a beautiful pink dress with a black ribbon accent, friends of Blake and Elizabeth Cleo's guardians brought the wonderful boy : Dude, I went and got Marley and Holly the island dogs who Cleo has magically turned into romping playmates of hers. There were bandannas for all the dogs to wear, balloons, an incredible spread of human treats and hot coffee on camping burners , doggie gift bags were handed out. Later, Cleo's new dog walker : the beloved of all things canine: Kim showed up with Oliver and Barni. Sure was a great day: Thanks for getting yourself all born and stuff, Cleo.

But she has won my "expoobident" award for the last year in a row. Below is Lee Morgan's Expoobident which somewhat sonically sums up Cleo's boptistic approach to each & every moment.
