Happy 9th Birthday Thatcher!

Today is Thatcher's 9th birthday!  We celebrated with a doggie birthday cake that I baked...needless to say, both of the boys loved it!

I thought I'd post some memories of Bubba through the years.....here he is on his way home from Rainbow Bridges Kennel....our first day with T-bone!  And it was spent in the Jeep :)

 

After one of his adventures digging holes under the deck at the Taylor's Ridge house....."Dad....you're acting like mud is bad or something?"

Again?  Really?

Visiting the beach house for the first time

Belly scratch from Tom

 Thatcher's first snow

"Daddy....what the heck is that brown speckled thing that acts like a spaz?"



The beginning of a long tradition of sleeping on beds :)

One year old....and watching horses on the beach at the Outer Banks

Snoozing

Thinking

Hiding

Being dignified

Not so dignified

Sniffing

 Guarding (and sleeping on the bed)

Stinking (after being sprayed by a skunk at Gran's house)

Teaching little sister how to bark at things
