Happy Birthday Squishy!



Happy birthday Squishy! You're now a year old and only weigh 128 lbs! What has your mother been feeding you? Here's a recap about how the past year went...

At the end of the first week you were the biggest out of the litter of eleven pups. This is what you looked like.









As life continued, none of your siblings ever passed you in size. Here's you and the runt of the litter.





Here's you and your mom chewing on doggy treats when you were 8 weeks old.


Over the course of the summer we went on lots of camping trips to the beach. You loved to sit in the camp chair with me and fall to sleep... even when you weighed 80 lbs, thank goodness summer ended so I never had to tell you "no".













Here's us camping again.










Weren't you adorable! I remember when I could still pick you up and hold you...















But you just kept growing...











And growing...

Here's you with mom and dad in September.
You weighed in the 70's at this point.





And then you weighed as much as me!



In one years time we went through 4 collars, not because you lost them, but because you grew so much! We started with an adjustable 18", went to a 22", then a 26", and now a 30", which we just happened to find on clearance, otherwise normally no pet store stocks collars larger than 26 inches.






Your year of puppy hood was a good one and I look forward to the years ahead. Love ya Squishers!
