# 8 is #1

It's hard to believe, but my boy is one today!! He's "officially" not a puppy anymore, though he does still have quite a bit of puppy left in him. :)

He's brought a lot of joy and fun into our lives...we can't imagine what our life was like without him!

:: He loves his yogurt treats...

:: He barks like a madman when we open the back door for him, and he tears out into the yard yap yap yapping...

:: He loves to snuggle up under the covers with me for awhile before we put him into his crate for the night...

:: He loves to snuggle up with Chris in the morning, while I'm getting ready for work, before Chris gets up...

:: His best friend is Foster, who is so patient with him...and he just loves Little Man, who would still prefer that he not be around...

:: He will search out the sunbeams on the carpet, and will squeeze his whole body into the warmth...

:: He knows a few tricks and commands: sit; down; up (he gets up on his hind legs and balances); crawl (on his belly, he moves forward)...

:: He loves taking walks...he is so good about staying right beside me...he prances like a proud fella...

Happy Birthday to Ocho!!
