HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALHOUN!!!

As some of you know, we've been adjusting to a different life around here. We are "making it work" because that's life. I, Mamma Heartbeat, am so VERY thankful that through thick and thin, I always have my dogs and cats. 

I swear to you they know I am stressed. 

Every night I look forward to our cuddle time. No more unhappiness around here!!

AND to prove that, TODAY, I celebrate and honor my sweet Calhoun on his 5th birthday. 

He is my heart dog. 

No matter what, he will always be there for me and me for him. 

I tried to get some good photos of Calhoun's "parts" but they are blurry because he moves too much!

I took these pictures one night because I was afraid that one day I would forget my favorite parts of Calhoun. I don't ever want to forget any part of him. 

Sweet wrinkly muzzle. Too many grays for my baby.

Always with that nose and smile! He rubs his chin raw from chewing bones and stuff!

Those big paws that dance when he sees me. Yes he broke a toe once.  The vet said there wasn't much to do for him. 

Those soulful eyes. He's seen so much.

My lovebug, Calhoun

Therapy Dog work is way too hard for Calhoun. He needs a nap!

more napping...

Who could resist that wiggle butt? Lucy and Calhoun playing with a puppy-sized McIver  (laser  beam eyes!). 

Gratuitous shot of McIver for tha ladiiieesssssss! (ANNA & MORGAN)

A McIver puppy shot! Good thing he grew into those ears, huh, ladies?

  3. I had to get out the smelling salts before I could type this message!

    First, Happiest of Birthdays, Calhoun! May you have a great year ahead and celebrate many more!

    Second, Morgan says she sees NOTHING wrong with MacIver's ears whatsoever! She just thinks there should be more pictures of them!

  13. The momma was reading all your posts Calhoun and wants to know if the Linda at Petsmart who finally helped to tame the wild beast was in Anderson, SC?

    If it was she is also a Who-tamer
