Pet birthday parties are the latest trend

I love my dog, she is my best friend and the one 'individual' I spend the most time with. However, I don't think I could ever spoil her as much as some people spoil their pets.

A very close friend of mine recently threw his pooch a birthday party, inclusive of cupcakes and individual printed memories of their life together.

It's my baby's fifth birthday to so I had cupcakes made, filled with not only yumminess, but so many of our incredible memories. #DukeBday pic.twitter.com/bHD6accRPH

Do you think this is taking pet love to a whole new level? Would you throw your pet a birthday party?

Interestingly, it seems that he is not the only one that spoils his pet like this.

Do you think this is taking pet love too far? Would you throw your pet a birthday party?
