Happy Birthday Layla!!
One year ago today, we adopted Layla, our dog.
I can't believe it has already been a year. This year I have learned so much about her and she has given me such joy. Every morning she brings my joy by letting me pet her belly. She only wants us to pet her belly in the mornings. She will tolerate it at other times of the day but only in the morning does she stretch out and desire her belly pet. I always oblige. That, and many other little things she does, make me so happy.
She has come a long ways in a year, as well. When we got her she did not know her name, or sit, or stay or down or come or any other basic command. She was 60 pounds of excited love and wiggles. Now she is fairly well behaved and obedient. Though, like her parents, she is strong willed and stubborn. But hey, I know how to live with that. Her wiggle quotient has not decreased either. :)
All I gotta say is Happy Birthday Layla! I do so love you, dog.
