our puppy turns two in less than
two weeks! personally it’s hard for me
to believe that we’ve actually had her that long and even more unbelievable that
we’ve made it this long without any serious incidents (albeit the clay pigeon
episode). this calls for
celebration! (cody and i really are capable
of keeping something alive!)
although i wouldn't trade her for the world she is a tremendous amount of work. in the short time we’ve had her i’ve learned these few
things to be certain.

no noise is bad news 90% of the
time. allie has a bad habit of digging
holes and de-stuffing pillows. when it’s
quiet we often find ourselves concerned that one of the former is taking place
because, as we’ve found, it often is. the other 10% of the time she is sleeping. we wrongly think she’s sleeping 90% of the
time. therein lies the problem. we have no
more suitable pillows and our yard is full of mini craters.
the house will never be spotless
again. as a super a-type personality
getting used to the fact that i couldn't
reasonably stay on top of all the little white floating hairs and paw
prints without quitting my day job was hard. we vacuum constantly though i’m not sure you’d know it. :(
once she discovered her voice
that will was the end of all peaceful nights, conversations, and meals. allie now yawns loudly, grumbles when she
doesn't get a table scrap, whimpers when she wants something, and barks uncontrollably at anything that moves. maybe here’s where i should mention i think she
thinks she’s a human for more reasons than just this one.
she's changed our life forever. allie is just as much as part of our family
as cody and i; that includes our extended families. she makes us laugh every day and keeps us
on our toes. she finds joy in the
simplest of things and is our little buddy. she cries when we leave and wiggles uncontrollably when we return. there’s seriously no love like a dog’s
love!

happy birthday allie!
