Wow! Time flies. Today, my baby girl Harley is 7 years old! While we didn’t actually get her until September or so of 2016, she was born on April 25th. When she came along, she was initially my friend’s dog, but we wound up with her after my friend decided she wouldn’t be able to take care of her. But that was perfectly fine for us because we loved her the moment we met her.
My Girl – Harley!
We jokingly used to call her “Miley” as in Miley Cyrus… because she came in like a wrecking ball. She was, and still is, full of energy. When she first came along, my lab, Cody, was already 6 years old. He didn’t care too much to have a wild, rambunctious puppy around. But in all honesty, I think she kept him young and moving for a lot longer than he would have had she not been around.
This girl is pure love. She is the funniest, sweetest, silliest girl! Even at almost 95 pounds, she thinks she’s a lap dog. And I’m okay with that. She loves fiercely. Some of her favorite things are snuggling, giving kisses, playing ball, getting treats, and going for walks.
She loved her “bubba” Cody so much… and I think she still misses him. And now she’s taken on the role of big sister to Waylon. Just like she did to Cody, Waylon drives her nuts pretty much all the time. But I think God put Waylon in our lives at the perfect time because he knew we’d be losing Cody and Harley would need a companion to help her through the loss.
Celebrating Her Birthday!
I can’t believe my “Princess” is 7 years old today. After I leave the office, I’m going to go pick her up and take her to Tractor Supply to pick out a new toy and some treats too. I’d take her to Petsmart, but there will probably be more dogs around. Unfortunately, she can tend to be a bit too reactive, so I figure Tractor Supply might be a little easier on mom! She already had her birthday steak that her daddy cooks her every year on her birthday. And yes, she LOVED it! Happy Birthday, Baby Girl!
