Guess Who Is FOUR Today?

Happy Birthday, Duhgall Piper!!!!!

P1010090

4 years ago today you were born – a perfect birthday for a wee scottie boy!

P1010038

You did not stay a puppy for long – but we did enjoy your wispy “bat” ears for a time…and a face that could melt the hardest of hearts.

P1010112 Before long you were a young man who loved nothing better than to chase balls and play fetch.

P1010080 You have the kindest of eyes and the sweetest demeanor. Our little buddy who gives us unconditional daily doses of love.

P1010080

P1010024t

You love your kitty, Miss Socks, and diligently protect her and share your pink chair with her.

P1010092 It was just you and Socks for three years – then along came sissy Fiona. You have adapted having a little sister in the house to share your pink chair and window seat with - such a noble little man you are!

    Oh, sweet Doogie P...ahem Sir Duhgall Piper...I see you have a birthday on St. Patrick's Day. That is a special day for a pup to be born. St. Patrick drove the SNAKES out of Ireland and he was a warrior against evil. He left the world with one of the most beautiful prayers I've ever heard. You should get your mum to read it to you. Prayer of St. Patrick.


    May God give you sunshine even on cloudy days.
    May the breeze play gently with your fur.
    May the adventure of life be filled with joy.
    And may the stars twinkle at night to declare how you are loved!!!

    Happy Birthday, good lad.

Our little Joey turned one in December and he's made a huge difference in our lives. Can't imagine how much fun we'll have over the next three years until he's four! Hugs to Mr. D.
