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. 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. “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”; leading her to publish, “Pampered Pooch Parties”.
