My baby girl is 13

I know I haven't been here regularly, but I did want to come and share some pictures I took of Tasha today, her 13th birthday. She's been a "Pet Talk dog" for 8 years now, as Tommy had been. Her turning 13 somehow feels much more momentous than it might have otherwise. I've been having a very difficult time dealing with Tommy's loss; I feel it every single day. But here are a few photos of my girl, still enjoying life, and I am grateful for that.

Happy Birthday, Tasha!

You look wonderful for 13. Wishing you many more happy birthdays in the years to come.

I'm so sorry to hear about Tommy, I didn't know he had passed :(

Beautiful Tasha <3 Happy birthday to her <3 Great action shots of her and Raven playing. Seems age hasn't slowed her down much :) I also gotta say what a beautiful collar Raven has. Mind if I ask where you got it?

Happy Birthday Tasha! You're so pretty and you look great for 13!:)

Tasha looks younger than her 13 years - very cute pictures, acting pretty young in some of those shots too.

Happy 13th Tasha! I just love her ears. :D

Happy Birthday Tasha :) You sure don't look your age sweet girl.:love:

Happy Birthday, dear sweet Tasha! And hi, happy Raven!

Happy Birthday, Tasha! You are such a pretty girl! Have fun today and make sure to get extra treats, too. ;)

Love that last picture - so cute! :love:

Thank you everyone. I'm glad you enjoyed her pictures. :) She seems to be doing really well, although in the past few months I can see that age is finally catching up with her more. I can't let her leap into the jeep anymore because she was starting to miss and I had to catch her twice; I was worried she'd get hurt. So I lift her in now. I also have to watch how rough Raven plays because she gets knocked over more easily. She is more sensitive to the cold weather. But overall she seems to be doing wonderfully.

Varga, both the girls' collars I got at http://www.ellaslead.com/ . They are a husband/wife team I believe and are really wonderful people. Tasha's hair tends to cover hers in a lot of pictures. You can see it better in this photo
