LBK pups plan for belated party

Muffin Larson turned 4 Feb. 13, which would make her 28 in dog years.

But, the miniature Yorkshire terrier’s owner, Commissioner Lynn Larson, admits she and her husband, Jim, didn’t have time to celebrate. They were busy planning for the Longboat Key Kiwanis Foundation’s Valentine’s Ball the next day.

Larson said that Muffin might get a quiet dinner next week with her boyfriend, Shadow Gault, who shares her birthday. And because Shadow is the canine kid of Pupcake Pooch Parties owner Shannon Gault, we’ll guess that a dog cake of some kind will be on the menu.
