Belle is 8 today and Dixie turns 9 tomorrow!
Wow, wow, wow....
I want to post some of their puppy pictures. But, I guess this shows how old they are....
All of those pictures were taken on a film camera and I need to scan in the photos!
I always used to look at Dixie and ask her, "When did you get so old?" (Old looking that is. She still acts like she is 10 months old.) Then I realized we journeyed down this road together and I have rephrased my statement to, "When did 'we' get so old." When she was a puppy she had such a carmel face and color on her back. Now she is really white to blonde, especially on her face. Belle now has a white muzzle and white above her eyebrows. We put drops in her eyes and they both are on a joint supplement. What can I say, I just love them and hope we have another 8-9 years.... I hope, I hope.
I love my dogs. Yes, they drive me crazy with their fur all over my house, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. They are always there full of love and affection. The first time Kate ever laughed, was at the dogs playing on our back deck on West Seminary Ave. Kate's first word was dog. Stephen loves the dogs and is now really talking to them and making a personal effort to interact with them. I always have told the kids, they are a part of our family.... and so we celebrated their birthdays tonight in the same way.
I swear, she is SMILING!
Hurry up, some one take this photo so I can wiggle my butt and eat birthday cake. (It is VERY hard for Belle to hold still.)
Yep, I made them each a doggie peanut butter birthday cake with cream cheese for frosting and topped with bananas. Yep, I might be a little crazy, but I don't care. I love them :).
