One Year Ago Today...

[Camilla and Darwin]

(I know, I've done 3 blog posts in the last week. But it's been an eventful week.)

One year ago today, we brought Darwin home. I was so torn between excitement that I FINALLY had my own dog, and being terrified that I had made the wrong decision. What if I wasn't ready? What if something happened to him? The first couple of weeks were tons of fun, and very stressful. I remember wondering what he would be like in a year.

Well, it's been a year, and I couldn't have wished for a better dog. He has fit into our lives wonderfully. DH and I truly can't figure out how we lived without him. He's goofy, cuddly, loving, and totally perfect. Well, not PERFECT. :-) He has his stubborn side, and he's a total PIG, but we couldn't love him more.

Thought I'd do some "then and nows"

Total cuteness. Allie is right behind you, Darwin. She turns 1 in a few days. Have a fun day, Darwin.

Darwin was the cutest puppy, and he's just gotten cuter & cuter as he's grown up! You've done a great job with him, too! Happy Anniversary & many, many more!

He was an adorable puppy, and he's a gorgeous "big boy". He sure went to the right home!

Wow, your husband shrunk, oh no Darwin got bigger. He is a great boy! Happy Anniversary.

Totally a coincidence too. DH isn't a fashionista by any means, he owns like 4 shirts. LOL!
