Happy birthday, Honey!

Today is our dog Honey's birthday.  She's five years old!  It seems as though she should be older than that because I honestly can't remember what life was like before she became part of our family.

In honor of her, I wanted to share a picture that I took of her in February 2009, shortly after we adopted her.  (Pre-photography days - just picture-taking days.  In other words, my camera was in auto.)  :)

Awwwww!  She was a 13 pound ball of fur.  A bundle of energy.  With razor sharp teeth.  Just ask Nick who quickly became her favorite chew toy.  We went through many pairs of jeans during her puppy period.  :)

And today ...

She's our beautiful girl.  Still a ball of fur (leaving it everywhere she goes) :).  Not as much energy but still quite playful.  And her teeth aren't nearly as sharp.  But she is such a gentle spirit.  Nick is still her favorite chew toy but she's a bit easier on him these days.

We are so blessed to have her as part of our family!

Happy birthday, Honey!  We hope to celebrate many more birthdays with you!
