Happy Birthday Sammy!!!

Our big black puppy is ONE! Well, we think he is...

When we adopted him, we were told he was 10 weeks old. So we counted backwards from that date and came to mid-march. We randomly chose March 17-St. Patrick's Day. We figured it was as good a day as any, and it would be easy to remember. Therefore, it's Sammy's birthday today!

He celebrated first by going to Petsmart. For a bath and a haircut. Not your idea of a good time? He seems to have had an okay time...not so sure about the poor girl who had to wrestle him. After his spa appointment, he came home and opened his presents. He got a new football-on-a-rope toy and a frisbee. The football toy is plastic, to replace the cloth stuffed one that ended up shredded all over the yard. Then he ended the day with a bowl of birthday yogurt. If you have been reading recently, you will remember Sammy's attraction to Key Lime Pie yogurt.

The yogurt eating was briefly interupted by my attempt to get a picture of the birthday boy enjoying his treat. Unfortunately, he has developed a fear of cameras. He doesn't like the flash. He ran away and we had to coax him back to finish his birthday yogurt. This is the only picture I was able to get. I'll have to stick to daytime photos with no flash.
