Minnie, my pet Shih Tzu turns one today and I've organised a birthday party for her and her friends. At least five of Minnie's friends (dogs, of course) are coming over. I'm her mamma and I've been busy trying to figure out cake treats in small packages for all of them.

She's the most obedient pet I've ever seen. Anytime I say no to her, she'll stop doing whatever she's been up to. She's extremely calm too.

Once I took her back home with me to Brazil on a 24-hour flight. She didn't even bark once. But yes, she's playful and likes her daily walks. If I'm not in the mood to go out, she'll start pulling my hair or licking my face.

Sometimes she likes to sleep next to me, but she prefers her privacy andu00a0 sleeps in her bed most of the time. She gets a lot of heads turning when I walk her down on Carter Road. Sometimes, I hear complete strangers calling out her name. She's that popular. And I have to say, completely adorable and a loyal friend to have.
