Happy Birthday, Kendall!

Today our little girl turns 2! It's hard to believe she's two already. It's been a fun-filled year of Kendall adventures. It's also been a lot of fun watching her grow into the little lady that she is. Her coat's filled in and her ears get longer and longer. I pulled together some of my favorite pictures of her over the past two years to share with you.

We have a birthday party planned for this afternoon. I'll be sure to post lots of pictures after the holiday.

Happy Birthday, Kendalldog!

Birthday Party - Part 3

It's not a party without party hats! Here are some of the dogs posing in their party hats.

Amy and Haddie, Kendall's sister


Zena, their mom


Riley, Kendall's brother, did not want to wear his hat at all.


Bailey, from a previous litter, happily posed with his hat.


Jen and Buffy. Don't they look happy?


Woobie, one of Julie's dogs. He's part Cocker Spaniel and part Cavalier.

Birthday Party - Part 1

Today was the birthday party I put together for Kendall and her littermates. I rented the private area of the Hazeldale dog park, and nine Cavaliers, four three-week old puppies, and their owners got together. The weather was perfect. It was sunny and in the low 80s. The Cavaliers included Kendall's littermates, Riley and Haddie, as well as their parents Zena and Zorro. Their older brothers, Bailey and Martin, were there too. Julie, their breeder, also brought along Woobie and the new puppies. They are adorable! Jen, from Pup-a-Razzi, stopped by with Buffy.

I put together some party favor bags filled with liver treats and peanut butter treats from New Seasons Market and duck breast chewies. I put it all in disposable poop bags from poopbags.com and gave them an extra bag inside, just in case. Here's a picture of the bags all ready for the party.




I'll post more pictures of the party tomorrow.

It's a Party!

As mentioned in a previous post, we were all in Manzanita for Kendall's first birthday. We rode into town on our bikes pulling Kendall in her bike trailer, and we found a dog store there that had Happy Birthday dog biscuits. Of course we had to have one.


It's not a party without party hats. Kendall was more interested in getting to the dog treat than wearing the silly party hat.



It's somewhat hard to keep a party hat on a 1-yr old puppy. Does she look like she's having fun, or what?





...and she's got it.


I can only imagine what it tasted like, but she seemed to enjoy it.

Happy Birthday, Kendall!!

Today Kendall and her litter mates turn 1. It's hard to believe she's grown into such a wonderful little dog. She's spending her birthday at the Oregon coast camping at Nehalem Bay State Park. She and her litter mates are having a birthday party on July 19th. There will be lots and lots of pictures!

Here's Kendall and her litter mates when they were really young.




Here's Kendall at 11.5 months. She's become quite the little lady.




Meanwhile, she's having fun frolicking on the beach. Happy Birthday, little girl.
