Author Pens “Pampered Pooch Parties”

Louisville, Colo., Feb.10, 2009 — Devoted dog owners know the joy and excitement of having a dog as their best friend and family member.

“Writing this book forced me to evaluate why I included my dog in all of my celebrations as well as my accomplishments and major milestones. They are my family and help me during my treatments” leading Patricia Griecci to publish, “Pampered Pooch Parties”.

If you party with Fido, you’re not alone. Every year, over 10 million people celebrate their dogs’ birthday, according to the American Pet Association. Some 750,000 throw parties and invite other pets.

Many more would celebrate but don’t know where to begin. After all, it’s not quite as simple as stopping by the local grocery store for a cake mix and a can of frosting.

Patricia Griecci, founder of Smiling Dog and PlayMore Publishing, knows the problem some pet guardians face.  “A large number of guardians (pet owners) have told me the same thing about asking how to include their best friend in a family tradition or celebration.

Pampered Pooch Parties is an 84 page book giving dog birthday party ideas as well as themed dog parties for all major holidays. It includes how to craft projects that will be a guide to having quality time with your family and your child’s participation.

This book will help create family traditions as well as lasting memories. In addition it has recipes for all natural dog treats and dog birthday cakes.

The book “Pampered Pooch Parties” is printed in the USA and available from Playmore Publishing and Amazon.com.

A portion is contributed to cancer research for humans and dogs.
