Our dog sure has some fancy friends! The party doesn't officially start until November 9 but here's our first photo card and birthday greeting from Cleo's incredibly photogenic friend Queen Isabella! She's a famously pretty Cavalier from Texas, who you might recognize from the Houston Dog Blog or Life+Dog.

Thanks to Ryan and Isabella for reminding us that older dogs and people rule!

You still have time to share your homecoming -gotcha day- birthday wishes with Cleo!

Send your greetings and photo cards to us at [email protected] so we can show everyone all of Cleo's fancy friends from around the world.

Let's celebrate older dogs, adopted dogs, dog lovers and all dogs!
