Ok, I'm a little early - her birthday is the 30th, but I can't help it :) She's 5 years old now! I can't imagine my life and home without my crazy girl. Lately, I've taken to calling her Ms. Greybeard Dunderhead lol. She's gone from an out of control 10 week fluffball to a "semi crazy" middle aged dog lol. But, she's perfect for us. Just last night she knew I was upset, so she snuggled into my stomach in bed, and "allowed" me to rub her ears until I felt better. Who else would keep me laughing by goosing me in the butt on a daily basis, or change her expressions from super happy to sulky (because super cute didn't get her what she wanted hehe) in about .002 seconds flat?
Here are some old pictures of her. I'll share the more recent ones when I'm back home on my computer where they are stored.
Taken during the week we brought her home. That sweet, innocent expression was all a ploy.
"What do you mean when I bite you it hurts?"
"Dirt? What dirt?"
The flat coat in their natural habitat.
Her favorite spot in the house, even to this day. Thankfully we never use the wood stove!
The true face of Ari. This is me pinning her down as she went butt tuck crazy trying to eat my ankles.
Wet dog alert!
Her staring at me back when I worked from home.
Nothing says happy like a hiking Ari! This was taken last summer.
She actually dragged that pillow up on the bed and snuggled into it lol.
