Happy Happy 1st Birthday to Lady Peri!

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

It seems only yesterday I got the call from our breeder - she said "I am sorry, the litter was smaller than anticipated and we do not have enough males for you". Yes, I was on the list for a male. A few days later, she emailed me asking if I wanted a female - the people ahead of me on the waitlist wanted males only and decided to wait for another litter. I said "ABSOLUTELY YES!", called DH and he said "I secretly wanted a girl!".

Done deal, rest is history. I am in love with my girl! Here she is with her brother Taquito during her first week at home:

And here she is with Taquito about two months ago (wanted to show you her growth):

Today she is hangin' at daycare with her littermate Bella. They are running around like crazy. Tonight we are having a small family get together with the family cairn Lucy and my sister's chihuahua Charley (aka Chuck). I am picking up a special cake for the dogs today. Wine and cheese for the adults!

I will probably be posting some good photos later - be on the lookout!

Thanks to you all for your advice over the past year. DK has been invaluable to me.

Update: Dogtopia daycare sent me photos of Peri and her sister Ellie celebrating. This has made my day!!!!

Peri looks like she's smiling and having fun posing in her birthday hat! They look like twins in this photo!! If I hadn't seen Peri's name on her hat I wouldn't have known which one she was!
