Happy Birthday Willow!

Today is my sweet Willow's first birthday! I can't believe she's a year old already, it feels like yesterday that we went to pick her up and bring her to her new home for the first time. Willow is such a special part of our family and we love her more than words can express. She's just the BEST dog! Deacon has really started to enjoy being around her, he just squeals with joy when she kisses his face, and he has started to play tug of war with her- it's her favorite!

We were supposed to have a birthday party at the dog park for her this morning but because of the heat wave this weekend we had to reschedule it for next Saturday. It's supposed to be 105 for the next 4 days and that's just too hot for the Willow! We took her at 7:30 this morning and it was already 90 degrees, we couldn't stay for more than 30 minutes because she was sweaty and tired. When we got home Willow got a bath, put on her birthday tutu for a few minutes (until her dad made me take if off of her!), and had some birthday cake :) Scott made her a pancake, fried egg, and bacon- she LOVED it!

Last night we had our home visit for Legacy Boxer Rescue and it went really well! It was nice to talk to some people who are already involved with the organization, they were able to answer our questions and really confirm for us that rescuing is the right thing for us to do. They brought their 90 pound boxer named Windsor, Willow had a BALL with him! I swear she thinks she's a boxer herself, she was jumping on him, standing up on her back legs and batting his face, playing tug of war with him, and at one point he had her head pinned down on the ground with his massive paws, but she was still just kicking away. Hilarious! Needless to say she slept incredibly well last night :) We can't wait to get her a boxer brother or sister of her own!

Happy birthday to Willow, happy birthday to Willow, happy BIRTHday to the Willow head... Happy birthday to youuu!
