Happy 1st Birthday Teddy!!!

It is hard to believe this this large happy fellow was once this tiny little fellow. It has been an amazing year of growth.

Happy Birthday my precious boy. While time seems to fly around you we are enjoying the journey.

Since we don't post as often as we used to we are so excited to announce one of our favorite dog photographers is back doing a dog pictures with Santa fundraiser and we've already booked an appointment. Teddy's first experience with Santa will be with the best available.

I was pretty sure I couldn't repeat what we put Annie through last year where they took the dog(s) into a separate room to take the pictures and the dog owners weren't alloweed to be with the dogs. They eventually ended up asking us to come as Annie freaked out. She'd always done it with Katy and that was her first year on her own. I can only imagine what mischief Teddy would start unsupervised. I think they are also doing Frosty instead of Santa. Nothing against Frosty but I like the pics with Santa.

I am so grateful we will going to a different location but a familiar photographer. Not only do I love the yearly picks with Santa but if I don't get the cards out quickly enough I hear from people asking me if we got the pictures done, so I know others find the pics adorable as well.

Happy 12th Birthday Katy

Happy Birthday my sweet girl. It seems impossible to be writing that you are 12 today. I had to check twice to make sure I had the numbers right. How could my sweet baby have grown up so much???

Happy Birthday Annie!

Today we celebrate Annie's 4th birthday with shock and amazement. It is hard to believe our little girl is already four.

We wish you many more days of joy and happiness our sweet girl.

Happy 3rd Birthday Annie

Katy here. Do to computer issues and Mom just not getting organized we've been away for a while. Mom is still working on getting all the new computer stuff worked out, but there was no way we weren't going to post a celebration of Annie's first birthday with us.

Annie's nickname is Little Bit as she is the smallest of all the three Shelties who have lived with Mom and Dad and she will answer to her name and her nick name. I prefer my Princess Katy title. I wasn't sure what having another girl in the house was going to be like, but Annie has grown on me. She's a great snuggler and she doesn't steal my toys. It has been helpful having someone else to watch over Mom and Dad. She can even tolerate sleepig in bed with them. That's something neither Bailey or I could ever do.

We have many more stories to share. Mom is still working out her challenges with loading pictures to the computer, but she's getting there.

Happy Birthday Annie. Don't be surprised if Mom goes over the top a bit. Birthdays are a big deal for her.

Happy Birthday Katy!

Happy Birthday baby girl. It is so hard to believe you turn six today. We are so amazed at the changes that have happened since you arrived as a very scared three year old. We are so proud and so pleased to have you here.

In your honor, Mom has decided to share one of her favorite poems from her childhood. In fact she thought this was intended for her when she was six.

"The End" from Now We are Six by A.A. Milne

When I was One,
I had just begun.

When I was Two,
I was nearly new.

When I was Three,
I was hardly me.

When I was Four,
I was not much more.

When I was Five,
I was just alive.

But now I am Six, I'm as clever as clever,
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.

You have truly grown so much since you were three. Now you are six you are indeed clever. I don't think you have to worry it will end if you decide to admit to turning seven next year.

Sugar the Golden Retriever's 10th Birthday

It's Sugar's Birthday and he has asked us to help celebrate his decade long life. Since we are such huge fans of birthdays of course, we could not resist. We were asked to post his birthday badge on our blog. Please stop by Sugar's blog and add your birthday greetings.

Next, we decided to put out the crochet birthday candle on our table to honor the event.

He wanted a smiling picture, but he is going to have to settle for a happy Sheltie picture.

Happy Birthday Sugar!!! We hope you have a wonderful day.
