For Happy Birthday to Cami's pups as they turn ONE year old November 11th.  Come join us in a birthday celebration to end all celebrations.  Let's re-visit our Fab Five one year later to see what they look like today, what they're life is like these days, and how much joy they've brought their new families. Happy Birthday to Abby, Bailey, Bonnie, Billie and our only little boy Bailey.  Make sure your speakers are on and enjoy the party!       Happy First Birthday Abby Abby is doing great.  She spends most of her day playing with our ten year old sheppard mix, Mandi.  Both dogs enjoy running and playing but Mandi is finding it difficult to keep up the with speed and energy of Abby.  Abby enjoys chasing butterflies and digging what once used to be our beautiful lawn.  She is a very friendly dog and loves people, especially children.   Everyday we take very long walks and the more people we meet the happier Abby is.  She's a wonderful dog and we lover her very much.                                                             Happy First Birthday Bonnie           Bonnie is doing great.  Can't believe she is one year old. As you can see she looks just like her mommy, Cami. She is a great dog!  Always happy to see you, great with strangers and other dogs. She isn't the best watch dog unless a burgler is afraid to be licked to death.  She puts up with Micheal's sometimes overzealous hugs and loves to play.  As you can see in picture she has a boyfriend Rocky ( both fixed, no worries) who lives next door and is a great playmate.  She only howls when she hears Rocky outside and wants to go play. She has become a real lap dog and likes nothing better than falling asleep with her head on your lap after good game of fetch.                                  Happy First Birthday Bailey Yes, her first birthday is here and Bailey is doing wonderfully.  I can't describe to you how great she is.  She is so affectionate and loving.  Her favorite thing in the world is to cuddle up and she will lick you face for an hour if you let her.  But as much as she loves to be with us, she's perfectly fine being on her own all day while I'm at work and she sleeps all night alone in her crate.  She's remarkably independent and secure for a beagle.  She's not a very vocal dog as far as beagles go, either.  She does bark on occasion, but only occasionally and with reason.  She's very smart.  She took to potty training very, very quickly.  I think she would rather chew her own leg off before she soiled the house.  And she learns new tricks right away.  In fact, I think she enjoys the learning.  It goes with her nature of being eager to please, I guess.  Bailey is a playful puppy, but she never get rough.  Surprisingly, she prefers to play with BIG dogs.  I mean BIG dogs. She loves to romp around with golden retrievers, Labradors, mastiffs, the bigger the better.  She's fearless!  She's been seen running and leaping onto the back of the biggest dog she can find at doggie day care.  They get a kick out of her when she's there.  What's more, when she plays with us or any children, she never gets rough.  She's extremely gentle around people and knows her place.  She has never gotten very big.    At a year old now she's still only 20 pounds and about 11 inches.  She's in great shape, though.  Her vet always remarks at how great her muscle tone is.  We don't feed her any people food and we took your advice and leave her food out for her all day.  She grazes on it and doesn't even make a sound when her food or water bowl is empty.   I've never had or even met such a wonderful dog, such a perfect balance of tough and gentle, fun and calm, affectionate and independent.  Thank you so much for her!                                             Happy First Birthday Billie                     Billie is really the best dog in the world -- sweet and affectionate to every person and every dog she meets.  She can get a little mischievous around the house if you don't keep your eye on her, but she is just the most gentle and loving dog you could ask for.  Very loyal, very cuddly, and very spolied by us.  Billie is VERY popular in the neighborhood and everyone in the park that she goes to three times a day tells us over and over that Billie is the cutest dog in all of Union Square.  Billie is an extremely fast learner and her favorite acitivity (besides eating) is fetching a tennis ball, bringing it back to you, and rolling it to you with her nose.  She even learned how to catch a tennis ball in the past few weeks!  Billie's day starts bright and early (unless she decided to pull an all-nighter chewing on a bone) and as soon as the alarm clock goes off she gets the sense one or both of us is awake, she hops up on Brad's chest and kisses him non-stop for at least 5 minutes.  Then she curls up next to Sara's head and waits for the scratching and petting to begin.  Then it's off to the park where she's made a bunch of friends, and the rest of Billie's day can begin.  She absolutely loves the park and goes everyday, except when it's raining -- she HATES to get wet more than anything.  We consider ourselves so incredibly lucky to have Billie and we can't wait to see her brothers and sisters!!!                  Lets take a stroll down memory lane                                   Have a great Birthday Abby, Bonnie, Bailey, Billie, and Bailey.   This is YOUR day!   Congratulations to all the families for doing such a wonderful job raising their dog this past year.  It's definitely  apparent how much each and every one of them is loved, and how happy and healthy the dogs look.  You can certainly see that all the dogs have become an active member of their families.  Keep up the great work and thanks for sending in your photos for this page. Enjoy, Terry   Mommy Says "Happy Birthday" too!
