"The birthday twins"
You haven’t heard from us for a while as it’s been a busy summer, but on Monday it was a big day for Tess – she celebrated her 2nd birthday.
Gosh has that time flown by. And when I think what hard work the puppy months were and now she’s a big girl, all grown up. Well almost!!
She’s still a lively little thing with lots of character, but is so much more mature and manageable, and life for me is more fun and far less stressful now.
Believe me it does get easier with time (and patience!).
We spent the day with her brother, Wilby and his owners, which was lovely. We had a cold but sunny walk and lots of play with her new Frisbee, which replaced the old, chewed one. Then back home for a yummy treat and more play. They still get excited when they’re together, but do have moments of rest, unlike in the early days. And boy, did they both sleep well that night. Come to think of it, she was quite calm the following day as well – perfect!
It will be interesting to see how she develops over the coming years. It has made me reflect on how much joy a dog brings into your life, plus a little stress, frustration and commitment, but I guess its worth it. She brings us so much pleasure and we couldn’t love her more.
Our darling little Tess.
