Bo's Birthday!!

Saturday was Bo's first birthday!! Of course I took a few pictures of the big day so I thought I'd share them with you. There are also a few pictures of him from the night I picked him out and his first night home.
This was taken on Saturday morning. Like how the little dude stretches out and takes up almost the entire bed? He slept til 9:30 on Saturday, he must not of known or cared that it was his birthday!

This picture was taken his first night home. Wasn't he so small and cute? I mean look at that sweet little face!

This was from the night I went to pick him out. He was the only one in the litter with his eyes open.

Birthday Boy!! I took this picture on Saturday morning. He still has a cute face, but he is lots bigger than he was when I brought him home. He was not interested in taking pictures, he saw me get a bag of new toys out and he wanted to play.

Can we say spoiled little dog? All of these were birthday gifts for him. Some are from me, others are from my parents, sister, brother and his fiancee Erika.

Ok, I admit it, I also got him a new leash and collar set. I had too, a dog named Bo after the UofM football team really did need that collar.

"Can I pplleeaasseee play with my new toys now?" Bo saw me take his new toys out of the bag and put them on the counter, he started jumping as soon as I got them out. A few times he was air born, but of course I couldn't get that picture. Bo loves to jump, I really think he is half kangaroo.

He was so excited to play with his new toys. He played and played all morning and then slept most of the afternoon. It was kind of funny because he put all of his toys on the floor and played with each and every one of them. After he played with each of them he realized his favorite new toy was a chicken flavored Nylabone.

All in all Bo had a great first year. Yes, he had his fair share of being sick with odd things I never knew that puppies could get. Such as getting pink eye and the flu. I mean what dog gets pink eye and the flu? The little guy has also had his fair share of allergy problems, but I think we have got that under control...at least for now. The vet suggested he have allergy testing in late October so we can figure out exactly what he is allergic to. So we will be doing that within the next month.

Other than the allergy issues Bo is doing great. He is still very attached to me, and yes he still sleeps in my bed with me, but I really don't mind. It is nice to have something to snuggle up to at night. The highlight of Bo's week is when he goes to Doggie Camp...he loves it and has a favorite little buddy that he plays with every Tuesday when he goes.

I'm so glad that I got Bo just about a year ago. He has been a ton of work, as he is a rather "high maintence dog", but he has helped me through a lot this last year and I love him lots and lots!

Happy Birthday Bo!!

(yes, I'm a person who loves their dog probably more than I should...but that's ok...I think!)
