I had to make sure his birthday got onto our family blog. :-)
This was the day we got him, 11.19.11.
What a sweet little pup.
Here is our big boy now.
We celebrated by giving him some new toys and treats.
I got him some cookie treats.
Elissa got him the squirrel (to remind him of our camping trip) and Zach got him the green snake.
The snake is definitely his favorite. It makes a lot of squeaky noises that he likes.
You are a happy addition to our family!
We really, really wish you would stop shedding, but we all have our quirks. :-)
You make us smile. I swear if I spent the time, we could teach you to talk. You are really vocal. When you get up in the morning you stretch and moan and whine. It is such a crack up! Then you'll whine at us when you want something. You also have a crazy bark. Well really it is yelling. If we drive away in the golf cart without you, you have this very high pitched yelling you do at us. Soon after we got you, our neighbor came running from his house because you thought the eagles were trying to fly off with you. The sound was that hideous. LOL! We got you a bark collar and an invisible fence which took care of our major complaints. Now we are all trained to keep the kids toys up and their doors shut so that you won't chew them up. Darin puts poop in the areas that you like to dig. It stops you for a few days. And I'm learning to roller the couch every day so we are not consumed in dog hair. It seems like you have been training us instead of us training you. Why do we want you??? Oh yeah, you are really cute and the kids love you. I have to admit that I love you too. And Darin will reluctantly agree.
Happy Birthday Newman!
