A belated "happy birthday" to my Mandy girl (*18 pics*)

[.sarah]

Mandy's 9th birthday was on the 12th, but I haven't had time to post a thread like I thought I would

I can't imagine my life without her. She has been a learning experience in training, then re-training, and dealing with aggression. I am the only one who "gets" her. I am the only one who has the patience to deal with her a lot of times. We have always been extremely close and we have a very special bond. She means so much to me. Happy birthday sweetheart.

Some of my favorite photos from her first year ...

2 months old - at the shelter the day we picked her out




6 months old - graduating puppy class


One year




Some of my favorite photos from this past year ...

In her favorite spot - on the dog bed looking out the window

Happy Birthday Beautiful Mandy! I really like all of the pictures of her; she is such a pretty girl. In the picture that Annette reposted she looks so much like Ginger did as a puppy (but bigger).

Great pics, all of them! Love those ears. I guess I'm an ear person because that's one of the first things I look at on dogs. Happy Birthday Mandy! I hope you have many more years of happiness that brings that great smile to your face.

Sarah, it was great to see both you and Mandy has little girls. You look just like you did when you were little!
