🎃 Happy Birthday to my spooky baby puppy, Dolly — aka Doggy Parton!! 👻
Today is her first birthday, and since Halloween is by far my family’s favourite holiday, it feels like she was meant to be in our world. We’re so excited to celebrate her birthday and Halloween all together!
Our tradition every year is to make chili, sit on the porch, and hand out candy — and this year Dolly gets to join in. She has a little party dress ready, and we’ve already told her that everyone in the neighbourhood is coming over just to celebrate her. (She loves visitors, so she’s gonna be thrilled!)
Halloween is such a community holiday — I love seeing our neighbours, watching the kids’ costumes, and feeling that same magic we grew up with. It’s so simple and so joyful.
And if you ever want more puppy content… Dolly has her own Instagram now! When we were out east hiking and exploring, everyone kept asking if she had one, so I finally made it. I have about 365 photos of her already, so it seemed only fair she gets her own page. 🐾
Happy Halloween, friends! Hope your night is cozy, spooky, and full of treats. 🎃🧡
