These past four years with you have gone by so quickly. I still remember you as the little puppy who could barley get over the little ledge on her cage. Your stil the same cuddle-bug you used to be, now you just take up more room in the bed.

I remember when I first got my birthday card from my parents. It read:

Dear Kristen, Ashley, and Jessica, (Ashley and Jessica are my sisters)

Please take me home soon!

Love, Your new puppy, mom and dad

Inside there was also a picture of you. I just remember crying I was so happy, and screaming. (Excited screaming) Also, the manager of where ever my birthday party was threatening to kick us out if I didn't quiet down.

Snowy, in these past four years you have taught me so much; from the responsibility of taking care of you to learning how to forgive. (Especially when klutzy me stepped on your paws, you always ran right to me to make sure *I* was ok.)

So, Snowy, I just wanted to wish you the happiest of birthdays, and many more.

Love, Mom
