We Interrupt This Catch Up Sequence...

For Favorite Photo Friday! Let's see, we're now at D...

D is for Doggie

Ian attached himself to "doggie" when he was about 9 months old. He was the perfect friend, squishy and soft, with all embroidered features (which was important for mummy!). Doggie quickly became a tag along, and still holds a special place in Ian's heart. He still sleeps with him almost every night, and when it gets really quiet in the house, I'll usually find him curled up in a corner somewhere cuddling with his buddy (or watching tv with him!). We've had many a night over the years searching frantically for doggie before bed time because Ian is well known for "protecting" him by stuffing him in random spaces (like the piano bench, drawers and other small toys). For the love that doggie has received he has aged quite well, only requiring a few surgeries here and there (an almost lost ear, neck and armholes and a stuffing transplant!). He's not as white as he used to be and is balding in areas, but he's still a treasured pal for Ian and holds a lot of sentimental value for all of us!

Christmas of '05, all Ian asked for from Santa was a stroller, bed, and carrier for doggie. Isn't Santa great? Ian carried doggie around in the front carrier on and off for quite some time, it was so cute!

Last and certainly not least,
D is for Daddy!

And it's so fitting today because it happens to be Greg's 34th birthday! Happy Birthday Daddy, we love you so much! Wait until you see the party Ian (aka Franz the party planner) has dreamed up for you! For the rest of you, you know I'll have pictures later. Until then,

Happy Birthday Honey!
