We're gonna party like it's my birthday!

Today's my birthday! Oh yeah.... I'm gonna party like I'm TWO years old! Uh huh, I made it to my second birthday! Take THAT you silly, misguided but nice doctors!!!!!

This is me when I was a mere 3 hours old. It was taken TWO YEARS ago today! Mom is a lousy photographer, but I sure look cute anyway!


And this is my posse... or litter mates.... or siblings.... or bestest friends EVER!
From the left.... That is Moochie whose name is now Barney. He lives about 20 miles away in his forever home with the nicest man ever who needed his own bestest friend. Then there is Roxie. She is the one Mom TRIES to show, but she is too skinny and Mom is too inept. Mom thinks she will make a good Obedience dog. The chick in the middle is little Quincy. She lives way up in Dayton. Mom is going to go watch an agility trial that she is in. Then there is Hessie. She is the one who protects all of us from strangers. She is the smallest but the feistiest. And last, to the far right, is ME. The Rebel! You might see a wee bit of color on our backs. That's how Mom told us apart when she weighed us. I was Mr Red before I was Rebel.

Ya know, it just feels really, REALLY good to get this birthday out of the way. Mom can stop obsessing over it. But, if I know Mom, she won't stop thanking the Higher Power for keeping me safe and healthy.... and she won't stop petting and kissing me! That's OK.... I kinda like all the smooches :)

Oh, it is also Roxie's and Hessie's birthday, too.... but whoooooo hoooooooooo... I'm TWO!
