I am 1!

It's my first birthday, whee! I am very excited. I am all growed up now. Though actually I think I still have some actual growing to do, and mummy says she's going to have to increase my foodies again cos when I got my monthly weigh in yesterday, I was skinnier than last month, whee!

I didn't get any presents, cos mummy and daddy say (quite rightly) that I already have everything I could ever need - toys, a big cosy bed, yummy foodies, a big brother to annoy, a mummy and daddy who love me, walkies every day, friends to play with....and that a lot of doggies are nowhere near as lucky, so we are going to donate some money to the Airedale Terrier Health Fund

Anyway, I thought you might like to look over some photos from my first year. You may have seen some of them already if you've followed my bloggy from the start.

This is my mummy Maggie, me and my brother and sissies on September 9th last year. You can't really see us, we're teeny black things by our mummy's tum.

And here we are at 2 weeks old. Looking more like baby Rotties, tee hee!

Getting bigger and bolder here. I think I am the one on the far right with the white paws.

And this is the week before I came to live with mummy and daddy. Look how sweet and innocent I look, tee hee.

I was a very fuzzy girl here. Must have been before mummy started on the grooming regime.

See what I mean?! First proper stripping session and see how impressed I am!

Aw, this is when I hurted my back leggy after doing a spot of counter surfing. Remember, I had to have about 4 weeks bed rest.

Tee hee, this is me posing in Oscar's Doggles. Do I look cool?

Um, yes, er this is me counter surfing..AGAIN! I really didn't learn my lesson, whoops!

I liked this toy a lot. It really belonged to Flakes, our kitty sibling who died in December,but she used to let me borrow it!

And here I am after my first big win in the show ring. I won Best Puppy in Show, whee!

Growing up now, and showing off my muscly thighs, tee hee!

And lastly, a photo of me and my lovely brother Big Harry taken last week, though it's not as cool as the photo on our Blog banner where I'm pulling the really funny face!!

And "Happy Birthday" too to my siblings:

To Roxy, who I see about once a month at hair-pulling torture class. This photo was taken by her daddy who is a really good photographer. She's a stick-a-holic!

To Lottie, my sissie who lives in Wales still (where I was born). I can't wait to see you at the fun day next month Lottie!

To Mick, my handsome brother who I see when we go to shows together. He has done well this year and I think at the moment he is the top Airedale puppy for the year, whee!

And to Chester. I haven't met up with him since we all went to our new homes, but we're going to meet up at the WESWATC fun day in October for a big family get together.

And to my other litter brother Harry. I don't have any photos of you, but Happy Birthday!
