Bug’s (2) breed mix is an educated guess by her folks, and I’d say it’s a pretty good one.

I ran into TWO dachshund puppies on the same dat a couple weeks ago. Beanie was for months old, and the other was Finley. Red letter day!
I took these pictures a couple weeks ago but waited for today to post them, because it is Lily’s FIRST BIRTHDAY! How awesome is that? Happy birthday, pupper!
Niko (1, a boy) is very much a tiger in his own mind. He even likes prowling his domain, at least to a certain extent. And he sure loves introducing himself to the rest of the community. Niko is not shy!
Bernadoodles are nearly as ‘happy stoner of the dog world’ as golden retrievers are. Gusgus, who will be two in April, is no exception.
So okay hear me out: a one-year-old dog is about similar to a twelve year old kid: almost finished getting taller, not finished filling out, physically able to do most things an adult can but sooooo not ready to actually be an adult. So it just makes sense to me that a one-year-old dog should get twelve birthdays, and that equals one a month, and so Finley, who was born seven months ago today, is having a birthday today, and this is a hill that I will die on.
(Sorry, next week I’ll have a cat for you on caturday but this was important.)
