13 going on 3: Puppy Dog Tails

It goes without saying that we are talking about our gorgeous Labrador-Weimeraner mix, Phoebe. We have been so lucky to share our lives with this amazing girl! She continually inspires us with her physical prowess, her unending energy, and her humble spirit. She is indeed a treasure, and we wanted to make special mention today of our household's very first teenager.

Happy 13th Birthday, Phoebe!
...Oh, and don't underestimate us, baby, because
we are so very prepared for all of your teenage antics.
Love, Mom & Dad

"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know
evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog
on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back
in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--
it was peace."
