All Growed Up

Photo by Anita 9-08

Tomorrow, our sweet princess will be a whopping one year old.  She’s been with us all but about seven weeks of her little life, and we’ve treasured every minute with her.   She’s the sweetest, brightest, prettiest girl, even if she doesn’t meet the basset breed standard so well.

She loved her big brother dearly, perhaps too much, in Mugsy’s opinion.   She wanted to be wherever he was, doing whatever he was doing.  I’m sure that while she remained happy-go-lucky after his death, she grieved as deeply as we did. 

Happy birthday a little early, sweet princess.  May we have many, MANY more years of fun, snuggles, walks, laughter and great companionship together.

Thanks, Anita!  9-08

    I love that picture Anita snapped. My guys look like that all the time. Lips tucked in and weird. Cute!

    Lucy is being weird this morning. We are downstairs and that means the gate is up so they are stuck with me and I know what they are doing. First she stood at the gate because she wanted hedgie. So I took her to go get it. When she got to the bottom of the stairs, she spit hedgie on the floor and now she’s outside, standing on the patio staring at me. She’s been there for a good 10 minutes. g

    Sissy certainly does seem to love all the other dogs. When Yappy and Crappy are seen together there’s liable to be a snarling match to come. Each one wants to be top dog.
