Happy Birthday!

Today is Denali and Kaytu's birthday! They are now 2 years old!! Denali I know was born on February 16th, and since I know Kaytu was born in February of 2010 I'm saying their birthday is the same day.

Our day began with a bike ride to the park. There were no other dogs when we arrived but the girls didn't care. They were having a blast running and and wrestling each other. A male black lab showed up after about 15 minutes and they had a great time playing. We stayed for about an hour total.

Once home I wanted to take a few pictures of them. As I lead Kaytu outside Husband arrived home and was able to help me.


I was waving a leaf around to get their attention.
Denali was focused!


We then went inside to give them their cakes.
Kaytu waiting patiently.
Denali waiting impatiently.
Finally it was cake time! Their cakes are ground venison with an egg on top, and 2 beef ribs for candles. Husband and I sang happy birthday to both of them and let them dig in. We celebrated with strawberry banana smoothies.

Their present should be arriving tomorrow, a bulk order of bully sticks from Best Bully Sticks. Yes, their present is bull pizzles!

The first time I saw a picture of Denali she was 3 weeks old and I had no idea which dog would be our Denali. We had the name but needed to meet the puppies first to determine which one we wanted. We adopted her from a breeder, Shamrock Siberians, in southern California.

they were 6 weeks old. Denali is the middle white one.

Which bring us to today, their 2nd birthday. Time has gone much too quickly. My baby polar bear puppy has grown up into a beautiful young dog, and pretty little Kaytu has entered our lives and come a long way in the 4 short months she's been with us. Happy Birthday girlies!
