Happy 14th Birthday, Cassie!! June 22

Happy birthday to my wonderful dalmatian, Cassie. She will be 14 on Sunday, June 22. Here are a few...okay, a lot of pictures of Cassie's life. The descriptions are in her words:)

Well, here I am as a cute little puppy!! I loved to chew, sleep, eat, romp, grab things I wasn't supposed to grab, and most of all, love my family.

In this picture, I kinda have a guilty look on my face....probably chewed something up (again!)

Well, I have a wonderful family. I have been their playmate, protector, confidant. My humans include mom and dad and my best buddies, Marc and Molly. I was one year old when Marc was born, so I've known them all of my life.......

I love my family, and I would do anything for them....I've even let my mom know when my buddies had a fever or were sick. I wouldn't let her go to bed until she checked on them. I have even suffered some teasing from the neighborhood dogs on their behalf......

I've had a very good life....My legs don't move as fast as they used to, and my face spots are getting some grey, but I know I'm loved and lived a very fortunate life.....So, here I am in my favorite spot in the house THE COUCH! (although these days I need a litte help)

Mom wanted me to tell everyone she is sorry for so many pictures....there were just so many to choose from! Also, she sized all of the pictures as MEDIUM on photobucket, but some came out large! Don't know why! Well, hugs and kisses to everyone on Pet Talk!...

Love, Cassie

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEET, LOVING, BEAUTIFUL CASSIE!
Your loving family is so lucky to celebrate 14 wonderful years of your splendid life! I hope you have good health and good times all the rest of your life! Big smoochies!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You sure were a cute lil' puppy! I'd like to see some pictures of what you look like now, I'll bet you're gorgeous. :)
I plan on having a little dal pup in about a year.

Well I was certainly right in your other thread, you are a gorgeous dog! :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASSIE!!!:D

OH HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASSIE!!!!!!!!!!!! You sure were an adorable puppy and you are a beautiful girl now!!!!!! It was good for me to see you as a puppy and know that you are a calm adult dog because your mom and I probably both feel like our puppies will never act normal!!!!!

Love,
Deb and Sunny (WOof and ARROOoooooooo)

I didn't know you were a SHOW DOG!!!!!!! (hehe..."stealing the show"...:) What a beauty you are :)

What a little cutie-pie you were, Cassie. I don't believe for a minute that you were a mischievous little pup; just look at that sweet face. ;) Happy birthday, sweetie!!! I'm off to look at your other pictures now. :)

Aww, Cassie sweetie, you are obviously a very important member of that family. What great pictures. :D I bet they have a very special day planned for you today.

Happy Birthday to you sweet Cassie! You were indeed an adorable puppy and I am sure are not guilty of half of the things you were accused of. :p:p I got a kick out of the picture of you sprawled on the floor in, what we call around here, the frog position. Ouch! How do you dogs do that? LOL! I am sure there is a lot of celebrating going on at your house today! ;):cool:

What wonderful pictures! Cassie has been an integral part of your family's life. I hope you all have many happy years ahead. Thank you for sharing! :)

Well, I am sorry Cassie, but I must admit that Ginger is rolling on the floor laughing at your Hawaiian a outfit. :o I can see how some of the dogs in the neighborhood may have teased you about that one. But I, on the other hand, think you make an absolutely gorgeous hula dancer. :D And your ukulele is very pretty. :)

Cassie I have watched you go from puppyhood to adulthood this morning and loved every picture. Please tell your mom not to apologize. We are happy to join in your birthday celebration. I understand very well the aging process as I am no spring chicken any more either. HA! Don't worry about your spots graying. That just makes you all the more special and dear! :cool:
