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:

What a very special tribute! I hope Cassie gives you many more years of joy. What a lovely family you are! Thanks for the sweet photos :)

Happy Birthday you lovely dog! I hope you have a nice birthday sweet girl. Please have your family give you a gentle hug for me.

Happy 14th Birthday, Cassie!
Those puppy pictures of yours are just to die for! Probably one of the cutest Dalmation puppies I have seen. I hope you are having a wonderful birthday, and that your family is spoiling you even more than usual. :]

It looks like Cassie never leaves the side of those she loves. :) She is obviously such a very important, loved member of the family. I adore the second picture of Cassie and her matching sidekick. Adorable!

Oh Cassie, you will put up with just about anything, won't you? :]
My boys can sympathize, but I must say that you pull off the hawaii look much better than the mutts at my house. Hehe. I loved seeing at those pictures of you today, sweetheart. And again, Happy Birthday!

Hi, folks! I merged the whole series into one thread. Cassie's mommy didn't know how to do that.


Happy Birthday Spotty Girl! We so enjoyed these pictures and seeing you grow in stature, beauty and wisdom!

Happy Birthday Cassie!! You were such an adorable puppy and you are also a beautiful adult puppy as well. :D :D

Happy Birthday to You,
Happy Birthday to You!
Happy 14th Birthday, dear Cassie ...
Happy Birthday ... To ... Beautiful YOU!

With a BIG BIRTHDAY HUG!

Your fans,
Elyse
and another Cassie too :)

:love: Happy 14th Birthday Cassie! :love:

What a wonderful pictorial tribute to you, sweet spotty girl. We get to see you grow from cute puppy to Grand Pooh-Bah over all your domain. such cute pictures of your "pups", too. ;)
Wishing you many more years of living the good life.

Oh all of those pictures are great, but the one of her chewing on the chair is my favorite!
Sorry I'm late, but I hope you had a great b-day Cassie!

Happy Belated Birthday, Cassie!! You were one very cute puppy and now you are a very handsome dog! It sounds as if you have been a great addition to your human family and they have been good to you too!
Hope you have more happy birthdays!
