HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHADOW!!!

My sweet “Baby Golden” is 12 years old today. 


She is healthy, she’s happy, and she is without a doubt my shadow…as in that sun’s reflection that is always right next to you. And though she loves the dog-daddy, it’s me she looks to and looks for when she needs reassurance that all is well in her world.

It’s hard to believe that she’s 12. I still remember taking this picture on New Year’s Eve, 2004, when she was just 2-1/2 months old…


Isn’t that just the sweetest photo?! Callie was always protective of Shadow, from the day we first brought her home. ❀️

And here she is playing with Callie out in the yard when she was about a year or two old…


I know she still misses her big sister; but she has adapted well. Better than me, for sure; and she has helped me get past many leaky-eye moments over the last 14 months.

So, sweet Shadow, I hope that whatever we end up doing today will make your day as special for you as you’ve always been to us. I know that Callie is with us in spirit and in our hearts, smiling at you as she always did.

    Hi, I don’t know if this email will actually come to you, but I’ve been getting your posts, and LOVE them. I tried to wish Shadow Happy Birthday today, and couldn’t leave a comment because it says my email address is wrong….I haven’t changed it in years (actually ever), so I don’t know how to fix it so I can log in. Any suggestions?

    Anyway, Happy Birthday, Shadow! And, I loved the pictures of her and Callie, especially the one when she was a pup an Callie was protecting her with her paw.

    thanks,

    Susanne Holleman

      I wish I knew what to suggest. Meanwhile, I did get both of your first comments – and liked them – so I’ll go into the blog admin stuff later and see what gives on my end. Thanks for letting me know!
