A childless couple who pamper their dog like a ‘baby’ have revealed how they threw him a lavish first birthday party.
Sandra Macedo and Jessie Magana, both 27, decided to throw a $200 carnival-themed celebration on May 21 for their beloved long-haired Dalmatian named Ryder.
Dog lovers in Georgia dressed their pooch in a party hat and tie, invited five human guests and decorated their home for the big day.
Ryder còn có một chiếc bánh pupcake, quả bóng tennis piñata được cá nhân hóa và thậm chí còn nhận được rất nhiều đồ chơi nhai bằng cao su và đồ ăn cho chó từ khách.

Sandra Macedo và Jessie Magana, cả hai đều 27 tuổi, đã quyết định tổ chức lễ kỷ niệm theo chủ đề lễ hội trị giá 200 đô la vào ngày 21 tháng 5 cho chú chó đốm lông dài yêu quý của họ tên là Ryder.
Sandra và Jessie nhận Ryder vào tháng 7 năm 2022 từ một nhà lai tạo địa phương và sau khi đưa nó về nhà lúc 13 tuần, cô nhanh chóng bắt đầu chiêu đãi chú chó con những món đồ xa xỉ như đồ chơi sang trọng và một chiếc giường êm ái.

Nhà tiếp thị tự do Sandra và đối tác Jessie, người làm việc trong lĩnh vực tài chính, đã quyết định làm cho sinh nhật của Ryder trở nên đặc biệt hơn và quay các hoạt động lễ hội trong một video TikTok cảm động.
She said: ‘We filled the house with balloons and treats, as well as spending 30 minutes putting up decorations and dressing him up in his best hat and tie.
‘It was definitely a treat for Ryder but seeing how happy he was made it all worth it and I don’t care if anyone says it’s excessive.
‘Ryder is the light of our lives and I wanted to have an event to celebrate him.
‘Ryder is the best pup in the world and I wanted to celebrate his first year in the best way.
‘He knew the party was for him and was so excited when he was given his presents.
‘One of the highlights of the night was his cake which cost $20 and was personalized to read “Yappy Barkday.”
‘He devoured the cake as he doesn’t get many treats day-to-day to maintain the high rewards training method we follow.’

The pooch owner continued: ‘It was lovely to have our friends gather at our house to celebrate the special pup that Ryder is.
‘Ryder isn’t neutered yet so we couldn’t invite any other dogs but five of our friends came to the party and even brought Ryder toys that he loved.
‘To some, throwing Ryder a lavish party may be over the top but I loved it and [so] did he.
‘The sad reality is the average dog owner only gets 10 summers with the pooch and I want to make the most of my beautiful boy.
‘The bash was a huge success and I can’t wait to go bigger next year,’ Sandra said.
Even when its not Ryder’s birthday Sandra explained how the couple spend around $250 a month on their pet.
Despite friends and family finding her antics ‘bizarre,’ Sandra insists ‘he is worth every penny’ and is just like a child to her.
Sandra said: ‘Dogs are the new kids for millennials and Ryder is my baby.
‘I’m not going to even think about having children until I’m in my 30s. Some of my friends who have kids tell me how hard it really is.’
Sandra is Ryder’s biggest fan and in August 2022 she set up an TikTok account for her dog to document his adventures – and he already boasts over 125,000 followers online
‘Of course having a pet is a commitment but it just suits where I’m at in my life at the moment,’ Sandra explained.
Sandra and Jessie got Ryder in July 2022 from a local breeder.
After bringing him home at 13 weeks, Sandra quickly started treating the puppy to luxury goods such as plush toys and a comfy bed.
But it wasn’t until his first birthday this year that she decided to go ‘all out’ with a big celebration.
Sandra là người hâm mộ lớn nhất của Ryder và vào tháng 8 năm 2022, cô đã lập một tài khoản TikTok cho chú chó của mình để ghi lại những chuyến phiêu lưu của nó – và nó đã tự hào có hơn 125.000 người theo dõi trực tuyến.
‘Đối với tôi, mạng xã hội của anh ấy phù hợp với tôi hơn Ryder nhưng chúng tôi có rất nhiều điều thú vị khi tải nội dung lên và nếu nội dung đó có thể khiến ai đó mỉm cười thì điều đó thật đáng giá.

‘He has the best community following us and from there we’ve had great brand deals with PetSmart, Bounce and even a brand association with Wag Wellies.
‘Any funds generated will help Ryder’s vet bills and we are planning to take him on dog-friendly cruises which he will love and of course, Lots of new chew toys.
‘Jessie loves it as much as I do and all his colleagues know about Ryder’s social media platforms, some even follow him.
“Managing Ryder isn’t too different from what I do as a freelancer and I’d love it if it became a full-time job but who’s to say,” says Sandra.
But Sandra and Jessie weren’t the only ones throwing a birthday party for their dog.
Research shows that 75% of dog owners celebrate their dogs’ birthdays and 58% even sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to their beloved beagles.
