Happy Birthday, Princess!!

It is hard to believe that our 'baby' dog is now five years old. We were not even looking for a dog when we got her....but my brother had a litter of purebred labs, and she did not have a home.....and we (especially Bruce, who is not a dog person by nature) fell in love with her. So, we added a third dog to our home. Since then, Rascal has passed away, and we only have two....and we plan to keep it that way.

Princess is such a sweet and kind dog, despite the fact that she weighs in at over 100 pounds. She is even tempered, sensitive and loving. She loves to be inside and loves to get attention. In reality, she thinks she is a lap dog....but at her size, she does not quite fit. With the lab in her, she LOVES water, and will try to fit into any container of water she finds, no matter how small. We keep a wading pool on the patio for her to enjoy :) She loves to play fetch and catch or just to curl up with a rawhide and gnaw on it while being close to us. She lives both indoors and outdoors. She does well with our family, but since she IS so large and is still pretty excitable, we put her out when we have guests over.

Happy FIFTH birthday Princess! We love you!
