My 1st Gotcha Day!

Hello dear friends,

Yes, it's true. On 29th September last year I came to live with ma and pa. How much I've nejoyed that year! It almost feels like I've been here forever. I am so grateful that they took a chance on adopting an old codger like me, and I hope they know how much I love them. I know young Oscar had a paw in getting me this lovely new home, and I will be eternally grateful to him.

I'm going to stop now before I get too teary eyed, but just thought I'd leave you with a small selection of photos from the last year, which are in no particular order.

Ain't Karma wonderful? You look so happy since Ma & Pa decided to move in with you! Did you know that the measure of an airedale's happiness is the length of his tongue? Yours is the longest we've seen!

Great pix!

Harry, I missed your gotcha day...Happy belated gotcha day! I loved traveling through your one year memories of photo's...I especially like the first one and the one where you are looking through the stair rails. I like em all really. Tell Cassidy hello for me and I wish you all a glorious weekend.

Tadpole said...

Oh Harry, I'm so glad you found your parents! That was a lovely collection of moments from your first year together! :-)

And I must add... you look absolutely dashing and not a day over 5! I can't decide which photo is my favorite - it's either the one where you're looking through the bannister on the stairs, or the one with a snow-beard in the yard. It might be the latter... I love your expression there! Hee!

Sorry we have not posted sooner Harry, only just got back from our hols.
We cannot believe it is a year since you came to stay with your Ma and Pa. Time has flown by but what a lovely year you have had. The photos certainly show how happy you are. Our favourite is you peeping through the bannisters.

Happy Gotcha Day, Harry! I loved looking through the photos. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the one of you sitting on the stairs and peeking through the rails. Too cute!
