Sable Is 13!

On the 13th of this month my little green eyed monster turned 13.  Just a few months ago I wondered if she would last with her hip dysplasia progressing.  I still have to help her up much of the time but she follows me around the house and yard and still seems so happy.  I don't want to let her go. I'm hoping to spend one more Christmas with my girl.

My Baby Sable Is 12 Years Old Today!

My Baby Is 11 Years Old Today

It doesn't seem possible that my Sable could be 11 years old today.  She had five siblings.  One of which is a yellow Lab named Spike that my brother adopted.  Her mother is still alive as well. Unfortunately, like so many, Sable never knew her father.
Sable has been a great dog especially since the woodwork and wall plaster eating puppy days have passed.  Sable likes to eat, swim, eat, and sleep.  She's never been a barker unlike her Uncle Joe.  I can still see her at Lucy's side when she came to live with us on New Years Eve 2003.
Happy Birthday Sable!

My Baby Is 8 Today

Sable Bear turned 8 years old today. She celebrated with her sister Lucy and Uncle Joe with beef ribs which took them no time to whittle down to nothing. I also got her a new red leather collar for her birthday/Christmas. Although it was a warm and rather muggy day here, she was much happier than she appears in this photo. I can't believe my baby is 8 years old. I feel so old.
