HaPpY BiRtHdAy Todd!!!

Today we are celebrating a birthday at Golden Pines--Can you believe that Todd is already a year old?

I'm not sure where the time has gone.  

~Todd, March 2012~

Its been a busy first year for both Todd and myself!  Even though it had been many years since we had a puppy, I knew that having a one took a lot of time...

~February 2012~

And a little bit, okay a lot, of patience ...   

~January 2012~

To teach a high spirited dog like Todd the things he needs to know...

~December 2011~

Because he seemed so innocent at times....

~Our Christmas card~

Although I have to admit, there have been moments when I have been worried that I've bitten off more than I could chew...

~November 2011~

But I also have to admit that there are just going to be some things that Todd may never totally learn.

~October 2011~

Because he does his own thing and he doesn't always listen...

~September 2011~

Todd is a Scottie after all!!  

~August 2011~

But he's had some great mentors, like Mamma Reggie that we really miss and who really made a difference....

~Todd and Mamma Reggie July 2011~

Through it all Todd found his way and his place in a house full of Goldens and a Wheaten Terrier.  He has learned most, of what he is supposed to ...      

~Todd and Sammy, June 2011~

But this is only his first birthday, so there's still time.  Yes, there are some things that I would now do differently, but I would never change getting a Scottish Terrier.

So, on Todd's very first birthday, I'd like to thank Lynn at Rocky Creek Scotties for her friendship, her advice and for bringing this most special Scottie into our lives.

~Todd, (then Jock) one week old~

Happy Birthday Todd!!
