Today marks 8 years, since Miss Hailey Bug entered our lives and everything changed. I wouldn't have Phod. I may not live in the house I do (her needs were highly considered when moving 6 years ago). I wouldn't walk almost daily. I wouldn't have a blog. I wouldn't have met blog friends and traveled to Indiana, Oregon and Scotland. I fear my life would be boring. Lee is many things, but boring is not one of them.
Lee is now the oldest dog we have every had at 8 years and 8 months. While she is calming down in her older age, she still has the same stubborn, feisty, loving, spunk she had when we met her. Good things evolve, they don't totally change!
To mark the day, we had a celebration yesterday (as it was Labour Day in Canada). We also celebrated Phod's 6th Gotcha Day which occurred on August 6 while we were traveling the world. It was a hot one, with some thunderstorms. I had planned on baking some cookies, but it was too hot. Instead, they got a special treat, found in the cupboard.
While they were not homemade, both the dogs seemed to love them. Overall, our day of celebrations were a good one.
We are very lucky to have such wonderful pups in our lives!
happy gotcha day professor leeeeeeee! that are super good treats and we prefer bought ones before those the mama makes with her own paws ;O)))

ReplyDeleteWow! Those look like amazingly delicious yum yum doggie treats! Happy Gotcha Day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Gottcha Day to Hailey today and Phod in August.
ReplyDeleteOMCs we loved the tribute to Lee with all the things she has 'helped' you do and we say thank you to her. Looks like the treats were a hit but I expect just having their Lady and Man with them was treat enough.
Hugs Madi and mom
Happy Gotcha Day to you both, Hailey and Phod!
ReplyDeleteLady and Man are lucky to have you, and you to have them.
All the best for lots more wonderful years together.
Gail and Bertie.
A treat is a treat and judging from their expressions, most welcome, even if not homemade. Happy Gotcha Day to Miss Hailey and more best wishes for Phod. Cheer up, autumn is set to arrive in 18 days. We can barely wait till that glorious day!
