OK, I can explain.
My BFF's 7 year old daughter was turning 8 recently, and when asked what kind of party she wanted she said, "a Hawaiian Dog party".
A....what?
I know a little bit about Hawaii having been born and raised there, so I took on the challenge. The 7 year old LOVES Molly, so Molly became the Hawaiian Dog.
Wrapping a white sheet over a table laid on its side, I put a child's fake hula skirt and some plastic leis on Molly, and bobby-pinned a plumeria to her ear (yes, it stayed!). Then I prayed to the Hawaiian gods for forgiveness (I really don't mean to offend! No bolts of lightning or lava flows, pleeeeze), and for a small treat she sat there for about 40 pictures until I got one just right.
After a bit of photoshopping ("Hau'oli la Hanau" means "Happy Birthday" in Hawaiian), we printed the pic on iron-on transfers and made tshirts for all the little girls attending the party.
Add some decorations and Hawaiian-type food, and this little girl had one blastin' pool party!
I'm not one to put pics of kids on the internet, so I smoodged out their faces a bit. But you get the idea. Super cute Tshirts custom made for the party!
I think I'll get Molly an agent. Her list of demands will be short: Trader Joe's peanut butter, ham, short walks, and lots of snuggling on demand.
Ahhhh...a Hawaiian dog can dream....Or, as the Hawaiians say, "moe'uhane".

Love it! Molly looks adorable - can't believe she let you dress her up - I can't even get a pic with a hat on - sad to say I have tried.
Great idea for a children's party - can see why they loved it - very different!!!

Molly is such a gem! And the girls! What a fun party, I can just imagine y'all discussing this out of ear range. Love the complete outfit on Molly, and she actually let a bobby pinned flower stay on her ear while you took photos. Honeybelle is a baby Hoover (as in vacume) everything into the mouth at this point, and yes that was a very rare 1800 book she shredded!
