.happy 1st birthday, my lil gustardo!


ok, i'm a proud puppy mommy so please allow me to stroll down memory lane...for gus' 1st bday, we were planning on taking him for a nice long walk along the lake tonight. but since it was supposed to be raining most of the day, we decided to take him to k9 for daycare, so he can play with the other doggies all day. i know he had a fabulous time over there, because he is currently passed out on his new bed (see pic below), when usually at this time he is bothering us to play with him. when we dropped him off, he couldn't wait to be led in and didn't even say bye to us! (how rude, btw..)

anyways, we picked up his bday cake (courtesy of galloping gourmutts), so i'll update this post later with pics from the mess he is sure to make...

here are a few pics from when he was a tiny pup in november (i can't believe he used to be this small!), to his gigantic self now:

the night we picked him up....he's so scared!


finally brave enough to sit in my lap:
