How did you get so big?
And no, I´m not talking about my hips, I´m talking about Phoebe. I´m still trying to figure out how she managed to go from 1 pound to 64 pounds in just a year, and from adorable puppy to adorable adult dog… or semi-adult really, especially if we take her behavior into account.
But anyways, she turned 1 on Xmas day, and we celebrated in style, birthday hat and all. But before you all kill me and call animal services, I swear I didn´t make her wear that just to laugh at her… well, yeah, that did play a part, but it was mainly because my older brother (the one that´s visiting from Spain) says he hates dogs (oh yeah, can´t figure that one out either), so he complains about how spoiled Phoebe is and everything. So my younger brother and I decided it was a good idea to tease him by buying Phoebe a bday hat and sing her Happy Birthday, and oh yeah, it worked like a charm, though he didn´t get so annoyed really, it was more of a mix of “can´t believe my eyes” and “this is hilarious”.
So this is a photographic journal of Phoebe´s first year, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

What serious little eyes! She’s beautiful. And, I know all about misbehaving dogs! Good thing they’re so cute, right? It’s impossible not to love them. I have a really hard time understanding people who don’t like dogs, though I guess sometimes there’s a history/bad experience there.
Happy Birthday to Phoebe! Thanks for posting all the pictures

Oh my gosh she is too cute for words. It’s so hard to be dog-less & living in BA when there are so many adorable dogs everywhere you go…
Beso!
