“A Joyful face is always a beautiful face.” – Sadhguru
Cooper’s playdate dog buddy turned 1 and Cooper was “that guy” at the birthday party. He horned in on the other dog’s ice cream, stuck his nose in the camera, and stole party hats.
And then figured out that his purpose in life is to be a professional keep away player.
Speaking of goals – the kids achieved some climbing up and also lying down.
Biking, puddles, balloons and ties.
A carpet of blossoms — and a sign that’s missing a very important, “a.”

What a sweet face on your son! Cooper has a lot of tricks, but I guess they don’t fit up his sleeve unless someone buys him a shirt. Thanks, Wynne.

Well, he stole a shirt yesterday so maybe that’s where he’s keeping all these tricks! 🙂

He reminded my of my parents’ late golden retriever mutt who passed too soon… always wanting to be in the middle of things! Aside from when he’s getting into mischief and eating homework, I bet Miss O and Mr D enjoy having a fluffy friend around. 🐕

Ziggy…Ziggy the dog buddy had a birthday and he’s ONLY one-year old? He and Cooper sure do cause a ton of commotion when they’re together…from the things I’ve heard and sometimes caught a glimpse of. I can only imagine what a doggo birthday party was like! Thanks for the Saturday smiles all around. So good! 🥰

Oh gosh yes, both! We’ve always had dogs until a couple of years ago. Then my eldest got a dog last fall. It’s been busy and fun. I love having him and I’m also happy when he leaves. Honestly the best of both worlds, since he’s not my responsibility. I just get to have fun. 😄

Enjoyed the photos. The dog is adorable. Almost makes me want to get one again. “Almost.” Too old to really want to take on the responsibility of a pet. As always, your little boy is so cute! Want to just reach through the screen and give him a hug.
