Another Birthday post for Chance

Grammy Chris sent me this picture today, in honor of Chance's (and Celie's!) 2nd birthday - I hadn't seen this picture before..... awwwwww!

In the tradition of dog birthdays at my house, Chancey had to receive a new toy :) I found this FABULOUS dog toy at Target.... it's as long as the dogs are, NOT stuffed, and has a grunter and not a squeeker... JUST up my dogs alley! (oh, and he got those Jumbones too! ;-))
It wasn't long before Kota claimed the toy as his own.... see? Kota laying down is not quite as long as the toy is!!!!
And here Kota was REALLY having a good time with it... :) It's a huge hit. I *think* it is a squirrel - has a place you can put your hand, like a puppet, and is not stuffed throughout the majority of the toy. There is some stuffing near the head where it grunts. :) They love it though, and I'm glad!

An exerpt from a letter I wrote to Chris last night...
"The dog I tried hard not to love.... the one who I said no to more times than I should have.... but the dog who I wouldn't trade for a million others and one I couldn't imagine my life without now. Thank you Chris, for taking such great care of him (and his littermates) as a baby... and thank you for entrusting this beautiful soul to my care... knowing that I would love him with all of my heart... and I do. I share my beers and my wine (darned alcholoic dog! ;-) ), my bed and my pillow with him... He's still a mush... the beautiful blue boy who has points as golden as his heart...."

Happy 2nd Birthday Chancey-pants.... I love you my big baby!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Chance!!

My beautiful Chance (Farpoint's Takin' Chances) is 2 years old today. Is it possible????

He wishes a happy birthday to his beautiful sister, Celie also :)
