Last Friday was Nico’s 2nd birthday! I can’t believe I’ve had him for 2 years already now, it’s absolutely flown by, and yet at the same time I feel like he’s been in my life forever. He is my constant shadow, always keeping an eye on me & making me laugh every single day, I don’t feel even slightly embarrassed to say he is my very best friend.
As usual, he got spoilt rotten to celebrate. I made him some special treats, a little birthday cake (he even got sprinkles this time!), his favourite dinner (chicken, gravy & pasta) plus an extra long walk after & lots of cuddles on the sofa. It’s not weird to celebrate your dogs birthday is it?! They’re family, right? Please tell me it’s not just me…
I debated whether I should do another birthday post, or if maybe I’m becoming a bit too much of a crazy dog lady (I definitely am, and to be honest, I really don’t care!) But, I think Nico is as much a part of this blog as I am, those of you who’ve been reading for a while now have watched him grow up through his appearances in my outfit posts & I thought it would be a nice little tradition to give him a post each year to celebrate.
So, like last year, a little montage of a year of Nico from 1 – 2 years old…
You can see his 1st Birthday & his puppy pictures – here!

Not weird at all! Seb got spoiled rotten on his birthday last year, he’s 2 in august and will get cake this year too! love all those picture of Nico, he’s absolutely gorgeous!
FAIIINT says
Yay, glad it’s not just me! :D I didn’t realise him & Nico were such a similar age! We must get them together at some point, would be so nice :)
Josie says
Yaaaaaay happy birthday Nico! Deffo not weird to celebrate, they really are a part of the family (and any excuse for a bit of cake right? I celebrate Freddy’s birthday AND the anniversary of the day we got him haha.) xxx
FAIIINT says
Yes, exactly! I admit, I did make like 10 cakes and Nico got one – then me & Ollie ate the rest! Mwahah! ;)
Tara says
Oh Nico! He really is the most handsome dog evvver. Please send him my birthay wishes!! Crazy dog ladies are the best, those cats are overrated. <3
FAIIINT says
Thanks Tara! I shall :) I agree, I love cats too, but dog ladies are definitely better! ;)

Oh my gosh he’s too adorable and funny! Happy 2nd birthday to Nico! I love your Nico posts… crazy dog lady here too!
FAIIINT says
Hehe! Thanks Mika! I’m glad people enjoy them, it’s nice to know there are lots of other crazy dog ladies that read the blog too! ;)

Awwww, I love this post. I confess that I celebrate my cat Jedi’s birthday, but he hasn’t been lucky enough to receive a cupcake yet! Hmmm, maybe next year…
FAIIINT says
Aw, I didn’t know your cat was called Jedi! That is so cute :) I actually made this one specifically ‘dog friendly’ – which I think makes me even more crazy… Ha! Oh well, he gives me so much, it’s the least I can do.
Hannah says
Aw Steph this was such a wonderful post! I think you should definitely do a post each year to celebrate Nico’s birthday (happy birthday Nico!), he’s obviously such a huge part of your life and that shows in all the beautiful pictures of you and Nico together. The photos are adorable and I can’t wait to see many, many more! xxx p.s. It looks as though the candle wick has disappeared in some of the photos – I hope Nico didn’t attempt to eat it!!
FAIIINT says
He definitely is! :) Hehe! That’s a good spot there! We took a few before we lit the candle, a few with it lit (but Nico wouldn’t go near it!) & then some after we blew the candle out, so he could eat it. The ones with no wick are from when we blew it out & the candle was a bit melted! He probably would have eaten it given the chance though! ;)
Sabrina says
Nico looks so fierce but playful at the same time! He really suits your general look and disposition in photos too.
Sincerely,
Sabrina
Kylie says
Happy birthday Nico! He is one handsome young man, I hope I get to meet him one day :) I might steal him though xx
FAIIINT says
Aw, thanks Kylie! I hope you do too! :) Once Ollies car situation is sorted, we’ll be taking him on lots of trips & want to take him to see his breeder too, which is just past your way, maybe we could pop by on the way for a visit! :)
Velia says
How cute!
I always wanted a little baby husky every since I was a kid!
I can’t wait until I have my own place to have one :)
