Thea's birthday

Thea is 1 year old today.
From this....

to this 😄
She has a very strong working instinct, is quite playful and protective and listens quite well.... although sometimes I have to growl at her to break her concentration when she is stalking.
I have been trying to get a photo of her "snickers" but she us usually way too close to me when she "smiles".
She doesn't leave the yard, even though we have no fenced yard.
She loves most people unless they are trespassing in our yard. (In her opinion).
She can't hold her licker.... very handy with her wet kisses! She can find exposed skin if you have a tear in your jeans, drives Ted up the wall! (heeheehee)
Apparently deer aren't allowed in our yard. She puts the run on them, but comes back when I holler.
If you play ball with her, don't expect to get the ball back unless you can get Tess to steal it from her.
She shares a birthday with Elvis Presley. Also shares a birthday with Reba's first litter, who are 13 years old now.
And I love her to bits!

I think we both did good. Mia can't hold her licker either.....especiallly when I come home after a day away. We don't have much company but she just started to bark when a stranger comes to the door but will shut up when she's told. Happy Cake Day Thea.

We have a licker in the extended family. I just say that he has so much love it keeps having to come out of him in his tongue. :D

Happy Birthday Miss Thea! Sounds like she is a good dog! One that stays in the yard with no fence at a year old is a good thing!! I hope she got some special treats! It has been fun to watch her grow!:)

I love the puppy shots....it's almost too bad they have to grow up. Every time I see Sage's puppy shots it pulls at my heart.
