Happy Birthday, Esme!

Esme is 1!

Today that cute, little, black labby turned one!  Playing with Ving in the sunny, snowy yard, a long walk, nap by the fire, and extra doses of love made today the kind of day that Esme loves.

They ran around the swing set and each came running back with a branch broken by the storm

12 Things Esme:

1. She's easy-going and low-energy.
2. Sweet & cuddly are her middle names.
3. Esme is the perfect size- not too big, not too small.
4. She has been an old soul since she was little.
5. Esme is a 2-yr-old's best friend.
6. No outing/environment is too much for her.
7. Zero fear issues, ever.
8. Esme sits so far back on her rump sometimes, that she falls over backwards.
9. She has a love/hate relationship with the car.  She loves to go, but dislikes the ride itself.
10. Esme is a power chewer- she loves her sterilized bones!
11. Her namesake is indeed the Twilight series, but ironically, GDB had an intern named Esme.
12. Only 2-3 months until recall.

The Birthday Outtakes:

This is my happy face.

Can I please go chew my bone now?

Esme  & Ving at the end of a fun-filled day!
