Today Dash turned 1 year old! He got to have a long walk in the woods with me this morning (which is his absolute favorite thing in the world to do), a little bit of leftover bacon and sausage from the kids’ breakfast, and tonight he had vanilla custard from Rita’s (brought home to him after Kyle and Owen’s baseball game). He was a happy pup today! (Owen announced that as of today we now need to call him “pup” not “puppy.”) He is such a happy pup everyday! We so lucked out with this dog!
Dash has brought so much joy and love and groundedness to our family. But especially to me. He is most definitely “my” dog — totally bonded with me — which was really unexpected, but which has also been very welcomed. He helps to lighten and brighten my days; he keeps me company; and he keeps me on my toes. Just when my youngest went off to kindergarten, this pup entered our scene and became my closest companion in the day-to-day-of-the-daily-grind. I never expected I’d fall so head-over-heels for a puppy! But I did for Dash.
Happy Birthday to our little fluffernutter!
Happy Birthday Dash! He is the perfect dog for your family!
Happy Birthday Dash! He is such a beautiful dog….Almost as beautiful as my dog Rocky (He’s a Cairn Terrier).
Happy Birthday Dash! He’s beautiful! We adopted a cockapoo this year, by luck of the draw, from a family who had circumstances where they couldn’t keep him. We are also in love with our cockapoo-totally the best! And, like you, I was totally surprised to be so crazy about a pup!
Enjoy Dash, he’s adorable!
Dogs are great additions to the family. It is great that despite having 3 young children, a husband, and career, that you are able to give love and care to a dog! As a huge dog lover, i consider my dog a true and beloved member of my little family. Happy 1st birthday Dash, and many more to come.
Aww I love seeing Dash and how he’s become a wonderful addition to your family & campus community! Happy days ahead Dash – can’t wait to hear how he’s finding Low Country!
