July 24, 2008 - I know it's late - it's been a busy day - but NO WAY can I let the day slip away without wishing a VERY HAPPY 3rd birthday to the Flashback 2005 litter.  There's nothing like a first litter to provide very special memories:

Parker was the 1st one in the litter to do everything - and he LOVED
the Fisher Price piano that was always in the puppy pen.
Ringo LOVED to eat, but it was often exhausting, so he'd curl up in
the puppy dish for a nap after he finished.
Rio loved to pose for the camera and was a born entertainer!
Strider was the independent thinker of the group - often found
engrossed in exploring the yard on his own.
Max got to wear the green collar - he was born outside on the grass
on one of his mom's many trips outside while in labor.
Mick was ALWAYS thinking - my favorite picture is the one of him with
the "new" weaning food all over his face.
Patsy - the Tomboy - could always hold her own among all the boys.
Boone - I'll always remember the post from Sharon that said "who let
the baby pony into the whelping box???"
Painter - last but far from least - born at the emergency vet in the
middle of the night.

They've all brought much happiness and laughter (and a few tears I'm sure) into the homes and hearts of their people. We're very proud of all their accomplishments, but we're most proud of the BEST FRIENDS that they've all become to their owners!

Here's to MANY more birthdays!!
