Our baby!I realize that this is kind of cheating means I actually didn't take the picture today...in fact I didnt take the picture at all, but it was taken exactly a year from today.
On this day last year, we had to give our little baby away. It was the saddest day in my entire life. I know its just a puppy, but he was our little bugger. And means Ben gave him to me as a gift it was even harder to give him away. I will admit that he drove me nuts a lot of the time, but he was such a loving and playful puppy it was hard to stay mad at him. He just had that face that you couldn't stay mad at. And when he knew he was in trouble he would come and snuggle with you. He knew how to suck up. It was so cute :)
Luckily, we were able to find some loving family to take him in. Ben and I flew to Illinois where his grandparents live. They were nice enough to find him a home. Since then, they have sent us pictures of him. And as much as it breaks my heart to see those pictures, it is nice to know that he is in a loving family. We still miss him to this day, and I have told Ben many times that I am going to find out where those people live and I am going to go steal him back. Ben just laughs. I would never do that but I wish I could some days.
