Hi Madeline! Happy Dog of the Day to you, sweetheart! "Madeline....," what a pretty name for such a pretty, pretty Sheltie girl! And being the beach babe that you are, you're a pup after my own heart! You have so many beautiful beaches down there in N.C.! But if you're ever up north, please stop my house to enjoy a romp on one of our lovely Cape Cod beaches...and bring your adorable doggie sib, too! What a gorgeous, golden hearted pup you are, Madeline! It's no surprise to hear your mom call you the light of her life...your inner spirit simply shines with the light of love! How lucky your family is to have a best friend, a loving companion, a furry soul mate in you, Madeline, and how lucky are we to have a pup so deserving as our extra special New Year's Eve honoree! Thanks for the BIG smiles, Madeline! I hope you and your doggie pal, and your humans, are enjoying a an extra special, fun filled Dog of the Day bash! Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you, beautiful Madeline, and to your doggie sib too! And to you and your family, wishes for a very happy and healthy 2014! P.S...You don't look a day over 5!
