Happy Birthday Abby!!!!

It is Abby's 2nd birthday on August 1 (hooray Abby!) so we started celebrating today. 

It didn't start out all that great, however, but it improved afterwards. I'll let the pictures tell most of the story.
First, Abby ran to get the paper to check the contest results...

Then she got depressed, cuz she didn't make it in!

She stayed depressed until...
... we got to Fiesta Island. Big smiles then!


We met a silken windhound (which I'd never heard of before...)

I decided to take a video of her playing, to show that Boris & Natasha are not slowing her down one bit! [As for the pic above of the "windhound" I'm not sure I get the name. Should be the "canthandlethewindhound" cuz the thing was cold in the breeze so they buried it in the sand, where it was completely content to remain. Abby clearly thought that was a weird idea.]

On the way home, Mike and I stopped at this little cafe we'd never been to before to grab something to bring home. While we were waiting for our order, we got Abby out of the car and were sitting in front of the cafe. The pretty French gal who works there came out and gave Abby a half a slice of bacon, which Abby found to be an awesome birthday present. We will definitely be going back there again!  
Once home, she got a Frosty Paw!

...which she very much enjoyed!
Good to the last drop!





We are going to stretch her birthday celebrations out over a few days. Up next, a trip to PetSmart to pick out a new toy. Oh, and we are canceling our subscription to the stupid newspaper. We really appreciate the support and the votes, but we only made it to the web site under the "Top 25 vote getters." The stupid editors obviously don't know a gorgeous special pooch when they see one. And they also did not appear to understand their own contest, since the "editor's picks" included some photos with absolutely no relevance to the "dog days of summer." Oy.

  1. It looks like an awesome b-day. Except for the stinking UT. When they say, "Can we ask why you are canceling your subscription?," you can give them a piece of your mind about their loser winner dog selections. Some of the pics not only had no relevance to summer, they were also crappy, fuzzy pics!

  2. Love the photo sequences of Abby with the S.D. rag and the Frosty Paw treat. Happy Birthday, Abby! Hooray! Brava! for you, and Boo! Hiss! for the U.T. editors.
    Love,
    T, J & Lou

We love comments - even just a smiley face or a LOL will make my day. (Yes, my days are pretty easily made.)
