Today is my birthday!
And this is the sweetie that greeted me this fine birthday morning....after a good nights sleep by all! Maddie slept well through the night, waiting patiently for morning to roll round so she could get out of her pen, and give me birthday kisses.
She's begun "chewing" on ears. OUCH! We have to learn how not to bite hard. She's been exploring Chester's toy basket, and having a ball. I know he would love that.
Finally, a nap...another rare moment for a photo op!
She has spent five nights at our house. She knows her name, knows me when I walk into the room, goes potty outside, if we take her, and wees on her pad.
Is this a genius dog or what?
So happy birthday fellow Leo friends, whom there are many!!! I can't wait for some of you to meet sweet Maddie at the Anacortes Festival this coming weekend. She's got lots of kisses for you. I hope she takes lots of naps this week so I can make more jewelry, I'm soooooo behind and it is soooooooooo worth it!!

Happy Birthday my sweet and dear amiga =)) It sounds like Maddie is fitting right in, and that makes me as happy as you!
Have a GREAT day!!
Happy Birthday Riki,
My Mom was a Leo too. I hope you have a wonderful birthday week. We celebrate weeks now instead of days. Gives us more fun time and more chances to have lunch with friends and receive presents. Works for me.
Speaking of "presents"....that Maddie certainly is one. She is so cute. Good timing on the birthday gift. Good choice.
Love that last photo....
Happy Birthday! Hope you have a wonderful celebration! And your little Maddie is just so adorable, have fun.
Happy birthay Riki!!!, happy birthday...........

Happy Belated Birthday. Mine was on August 13th...a big 55. I got to spend it with my beautiful children and new grandson. It was the best ever. I cannot believe summer is almost gone also.
Maddie is just gorgeous. What a lucky girl you are! Hugs and blessings.
