I don't know if it is planned this way, but the Saturday Dogs of the Day always have something extra special to offer. Madison you are a prime example. You make me smile so much my face hurts and think you have got *being a dog* down just right.

When you wrote *Who says holding onto my mom's leg while she is walking down the hallway is a bad thing?* you brought back some memories for me. Isn't that right, Hannah? Tell Mom not to worry, one of these days she will get to walk around without you attached to the hem of her jeans. Bet she will save those jeans though because they will remind her of just how much of a scamp you were as a puppy.

I hope you have lots of fun on your Special Day, Madison. I do wish your Mom would join Pet Talk so you can tell us all the tales of what goes on in your house as you grow up. I bet you might even have an occasional NAWTEEDAWG story to add now and then. I can't close without telling you what a pretty name you have and what a pretty dog you are and how much I would like to plant kisses on that face. Thanks so much for being our one and only Dog of the Day.
