January 25th was a day full of incredible fun celebrating our fur baby on his big day. We had such a blast; the festivities even went into February for Valentine’s Day!
We want to send a big thank you to everyone who wished our little man a happy birthday. Brody appreciated and felt all the love on his big day.
We would also love to send a big thank you to those who participated in Brody’s birthday hashtag: #BrodysBig5BirthdayBash!
We loved seeing your Valentine-themed photos and appreciated the support from our Instagram family. In case you missed it, here’s a recap of Brody’s Big 5 Birthday Bash!
To kick off the party, we had our favorite DJ, Mikey (@tinyspikeymikey) spin some birthday beats! We could barely keep our paws off the dance floor (but when is that not the case when Mikey is the DJ?)
Then of course, what is a birthday without cake? Our favorite cake maker, @dogcakesfordogs, baked up Brody’s big 5 birthday cake. Of course, it was nothing short of perfection:
“I was so happy you chose me to participate in Brody’s birthday bash and at the same time celebrate the milestone in my business,” Dog Cakes for Dogs said. “We were meant to meet!”
Our virtual party would have also not been possible without our favorite graphic designer, Michele (@artbymichele) to create all the amazing graphics for Brody’s birthday!
Ell & Dil Designs (@ell.and.dil) made sure we looked fabulous by being our bandana sponsor and KayKos Dog Shades (@kaykosdogshades) provided us with our extra cool sunglasses.
Finally, a thank you for our amazing birthday art that was done by Isabella Dick (@illustrated_by_bella):
“I want to wish Brody a very Happy Birthday,” Bella said. “Birthdays are for breaking out the really good dog treats, and pawsome giveaway prizes!”
The celebration got even better with our friends participating in our Instagram reels!
Our furiends were nice enough to send birthday cards and gifts to Brody, put on their party clothes, and put together a super fun Instagram reel that really showcased the ultimate bash and birthday love!
Although Brody was the birthday boy, these celebrations would have not been possible without everyone who continuously supports Hammy and Brody. We couldn’t celebrate properly without giving back to all of you!
A big thank you is in order for our Grand Prize sponsors Community Pet (@communitypet) and KNOX Dogwear (@knowdogwear): “Happy Birthday Brody! We were so happy to be a part of your celebration,” Community Pet said.
We would like to also send a thank you to both Cruz and the Gang (@cruzthefrenchie) for co-collabing with us for our Furocious Glam NYC (@furociousglam) giveaway! As well a thank you to Prince Louis CXII (@prince_louis_113th) for co-collabing with us for our giveaway with Posh Puppy Boutique (@poshpuppy).
And let’s not forget the fun birthday giveaways!
Community Pet gave away $450 in prizes to one lucky winner for our first birthday bash giveaway! Congratulations to our winner, @leo.olivia.jolie! For our second, our friend Prince Louis CXII partnered with us and Posh Puppy Boutique to give away a $100 gift card to their boutique.
Congratulations to our second winner, @kobe_kai0824! Ell and Dil made our third giveaway possible by partnering with us to give out a $100 gift card. Here’s to our winner, @graciegirltravels! Community Pet partnered with us for a second time along with our cute little sister Pumpkin (@pumpkin_in_jc) to give away $250 in prizes! Congratulations to our winner, @doodlenamedcassie! Furocius Glam was also ever so kind to participate in our birthday fun by giving away a $100 gift card. To our winner, @harleyquinnfrenchie, we hope you enjoy! One of our favorite artists, Bella, gave away an illustration of the winner’s pet(s) and a holiday illustration of their pet(s). KayKos Dog Shades gave our final winner a pair of dog sunglasses! Congratulations to our final winner, @stripehairless!
“Thank you everyone for participating! This was so much fun,” Bella said.
And last, but certainly not least, we wanted to make sure we were able to give back to every single furiend who celebrated Brody which is what we did through Brody’s Birthday Freebie!
Our freebie box consisted of stickers, buttons, and pins that had our faces on them, and they arrived in our signature Hammy and Brody box!
Every single furiend (per household) was able to receive a box, and we hope all who signed up for our freebies genuinely enjoyed the products that came inside. We always appreciate your support and love!
Giving back to our furiends and making our fellow fur babies happy is the ultimate birthday present, and we hope everyone had as much fun as we did!
Once again, we want to say a final thank you for making Brody’s big 5 one of the most special days ever! Nothing could have made the birthday celebrations better and we can’t wait to continue celebrating with our community for future events.
