In the midst of one of the busiest of weeks of the summer, Lily turned 12! Geez, it really does feel like yesterday that we brought that long-eared pup home. But look at that sweet old grey girl now. On her birthday she was showered upon waking (sometime after we did as is her old girl style now) with long body rubs on the rug (o.k. she gets those almost every morning). Then she got treats with her breakfast kibble and soon after a good brushing. Then her friends arrived for the party (my dad's dogs---they were coming anyway, in case you thought we were a little dog crazy around here) and Iris cooked up fun birthday snacks for them of hotdogs stuffed with more dog treats. Then we headed to the creek for her favorite summertime activity-swimming and rolling in the scent of critters on the bank. Back home for more treats and love. By 6 PM she was stretched out and snoring soundly on the rug, fully tuckered out from such an exciting birthday.
Old sweet girl who never leaves our side. We love you so. Happy birthday.
