Happy Birthday Sandy!


Today we celebrate my dog's 2nd birthday! Well there isn't really a celebration, but I thought I'd make a post just for Sandy. We also don't know the exact day of her birthday, it's supposedly in March- so we decided March 15th would be her birthday ;) Travis brought Sandy home in June of 2007 from the pound. The pound told us she was a lab mix (aren't they all) and that she would get to be about 40-50 pounds. Well as you can see in the picture below, she is about 90 pounds and she supposedly has some great dane in her as well as cattle dog. She is a constant adventure in our lives. There has been many good and bad times, but overall I'd have to say that I love having her around and she really is a sweet dog and tries hard to be good. She has had a few run-ins with other dogs and then there's dogs that she absolutely loves, so it's sometimes hard to figure her out! She is such a big dog that it took me a while to get used to her size when she began to grow so quickly- I had a hard time getting her to obey me. Travis doesn't have a problem getting her to listen and I have worked harder to be more stern with her. The last 6 months or so I have really gotten to enjoy her more becuase she does listen to me more. I get to take her to work with me and she has her own yard and she just loves it so much- she's always so excited when she gets out of the truck at work.


Here are some pictures from a few months ago (you can see our old carpet...eww!)

This picture is of the first day Travis brought her home- she was about 3 months old.

I've been meaning to leave you a comment since I first saw this post. I can't believe how much our two dogs are the same. Tuckers birthday is Saturday! and he does the samething your dog does with other dogs. He either likes them or hates them.
