Between the puppies and having the flu, I find I've gotten behind in a lot of things. I missed our February birthdays

So without further ado, Happy Birthday to Flyer, who was TEN years old on February 23! He just had a complete check up and blood work up earlier in the month, and he's in great shape - I'm surprised he's doing so well, as he is so darned big - nearly 29 inches at the shoulder and holding steady at 160 pounds. Granted, he is a little overweight, but not more than about ten pounds. Here's one of my favorite pictures of him, taken when he was about 3 years old right after a snowfall. That's not grey on his face, it's snow! And the old faht still loves to play in the snow.



On February 28th, Shrek turned 5! Seems like just yesterday we were driving up to NH to pick him up. His mother is Flyer's sister - can you see the family resemblence? This photo was taken last winter; since then, Shrek has been neutered and he has really filled out and bulked up and looks terrific. Isn't that always the way?
