    Kirk is two!!! No joke **pics added 7-14**

    Kirk made two years old on March 25th. I was out of town on his actual birthday, but my petsitter spoiled him with a big braided steer pizzle. Yummmmm.

    As of today it has been one year since his knee injury (partial cruciate ligament tear). I am so happy to report that he has been doing VERY well!!! I am an extremely overprotective Mommy, but I like to think it has paid off. Over the last 6 months, I have finally let him participate in some new adventures.....including his first FULL hike and even trips to the dog park.

    I don't take pictures at the dog park because I am way too focused on keeping him safe.... one time he was "rolled" by another doggie and since then I've been quick to take him out if I have any worries about rough play. Anyway, I do have pictures of some of his other adventures to share, and I'm way overdue....so here they are!

    Muddy on the hiking trail. His first full hike was a nice easy 5-mi loop in the foothills.


    The lighting is off on this one...but here I am showing off all the twigs that have accumulated on his tail....


    Here he is waiting for the hiking 'flock' to reassemble.....


    Oh look, Mommy! He's back, he's back!! *butt waggle*


    More coming...

    ETA....I have also digitized ALL of Kirk's radiographs/xrays and could make a thread explaining them if people are interested. I just wanted to gauge the interest before I go through all the work of writing up explanations of everything. Any takers?

    He still has some bad habits that we're working on, but I promise he doesn't bite hard! His saving grace is his VERY SOFT mouth. He just likes to nibble....


    But really, he's just a lil angel, see....


    These next few are from a hike around a local marsh. As you can see his posing skills are lacking...


    But we got a few decent ones....



    More coming...

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRK !!!
    You've been through so much in your young life little guy. I'm glad you're doing well. I think you two do make a very good pair.

    ETA....I have also digitized ALL of Kirk's radiographs/xrays and could make a thread explaining them if people are interested. I just wanted to gauge the interest before I go through all the work of writing up explanations of everything. Any takers?
    I would be interested.

    Happy Birthday Kirk!!! What a wonderful thing to celebrate. You and Kirk definitely make a great pair. Not many people would have had the love and patience to get Kirk so successfully to his second birthday. I really do feel like celebrating.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRK! Wow, I can't believe he is two already! I'm so glad he's doing better...way to go on the 5 mile hike! May I ask who the guy was Kirk was waiting for? This has to be one of the cutest photos I have ever seen, I hope you have it framed! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...d/IMG_0006.jpg My friend's aussie/border collie mix has a tendency to nibble noses when he's excited too, I wonder if that is a border collie thing?

    Haha, just my cousin. Nice try, Amy!
    Kirk likes nibbling noses and ears....maybe it is a border collie thing? Weirdos!
    I haven't printed or framed that picture of the two of us, but you guys have got me convinced that I should! The same cousin in the picture is the one who took the photo of Kirk and me.


    Many thanks to Roxyluvsme13 & k9krazee for my great new siggy!!
