I love my puppy very much.

As I was snuggling with my Sam tonight I decided I wanted to do a post on how much I love her - and seeing as her 2nd birthday is on Friday, this is a post all about my puppy! Some of these pictures are repeats, and some are others I found.

She's just kinda the most fantastic puppy ever. She's sweet and lovable and excellent with strangers and really a perfect angel in public. (and most of the time in private) :-) She loves to cuddle and does silly things and has all of these wonderful quirks that we just love and she's spoiled and sweet.

She was so TINY. (also, we had grass!)

Perfecting her "What? Me?" look at an early age.

So regal.

Happy puppy!

Awww, the awkward teenage months. The fluffy ears!

First real car ride in the back seat!

Sleeping.

So TIRED she can't even stay on her bed.

Happy with stick!

This is my beautiful girl.

Why are you bothering me?

Interspecies relations! She wants to be friends with cats SO MUCH. (especially Marlowe)

Muddy!

A picture from this fall. :-)

PUPPY! Aw, she's such a sweetheart.

Happy early birthday, little one!

She's the best pup EVER. :-) I'm really wanting another puppy, I just can't handle it with my job hours.

[raisintorte.livejournal.com]

Awww. I'm glad! She always manages to make me smile!

[raisintorte.livejournal.com]

She does! She just has this big happy grin!

[raisintorte.livejournal.com]

She loves you too!! :-)

[raisintorte.livejournal.com]

Yes! She does dopey very well.

I'm pretty golden biased - she's my 5th. :-) (our neighbor has a great basset hound that always makes me thing of you - they have a turret, and he hangs out in the window seat and howls)

My favorite quote from a Golden training book was "it is not generally recommended to allow Golden Retrievers to self feed" - which is the understatement of the year, and part of why they are just hilarious and fantastic dogs.

Thank you! I can't wait to throw her another mini party!

She used to do that all the time before she destroyed the bed. She destroyed the second one as well, so for her birthday we're getting her one with no wood chip stuff to tear out. :-)

[raisintorte.livejournal.com]

She is! We love her SO MUCH.

[raisintorte.livejournal.com]

Thank you! We're pretty fond of her. :-)

Great photos, and I love the one of her falling off her bed.
