My Puppy Dog: Double Digits Today

Our beautiful dog, Taylor, turns 10 years old today.

When we first started thinking about getting a dog, only a few months after moving into our house, we decided to just 'go looking'. On our first dog-looking-outing, we spotted this little white Labrador. She was so friendly and happy, her enthusiasm so infectious, that we knew she had to be part of our family.

Taylor is active, adventurous, companionable, curious, easygoing, fun... and always hungry. She has been a companion to Steve and I for ten years, and a friend to Abbey for two-and-a-half years.

Our gorgeous Taylor. Ten years old, but still a puppy at heart.

What a beautiful big fellow he is! Nice to be able to see them grow up like that. He has aged very well and looks likes a greatly adored family member :)

A waggy birthday to you Taylor.
I hope that there are lots of great smells to sniff, hugs to be had and of course some special treats to eat.

You area treasure,

Happy Birthday Taylor!

She is beautiful. I loved your comment about her still being a 'puppy at heart' - a true lab characteristic.
