{Happy 1st Birthday, Fergalicious!}

We love our little" Fergalicious." Though her real birthday was sometime this month, I couldn't let it go by with out capturing her 1st birthday portraits. With the potty training days behind us and her chewing on every moving object has come to a somewhat stop, we are truly enjoying the joys of owning a Jack Russell Terrier. We continue to be amazed at how quick and smart these dogs are. When she was just a few months old, we had her sitting, rolling over, begging and crawling on the floor as they are naturally eager to learn and play. The only thing she hasn't learned all to well is to come but we are working on that one. Fergie also seems to have boundless energy and what seems like tiny springs attached to her feet! Amazingly, there are many quiet moments with her as well where she cuddles and is the perfect little companion for everyone. The boys are extremely fond and attached to her and shower her with affection and kisses all the time, especially my middle son,Trevor. He asks her daily...
"Fergie, aren't you the cutest little doggie in the whole world?"
I'm biased but I guess I have to agree with him. She is pretty darn cute!
To celebrate, I thought it was only appropriate to head on over to Bark Place in Aptos where we picked up a cute birthday bandana and one of their famous doggie cookies. Not only did the cookie look like a real cookie, they taste like one too! I was told by our friends at the Bark Place that all of their cookies can be consumed by dogs and humans. They are all made from natural ingredients even the yogurt frosting. They are almost too pretty to eat and we had a huge selection to chose from like pizza slices, sprinkled donuts and cupcake shapes. We finally settled on the largest doggie cookie they had. After posing for pics and working for her birthday treat, we finally let Fergie have her cookie. We thought it was kind of funny how she pranced around with it for a few minutes, unsure of what to do with it and then finally bit it in half. Luckily, we made sure she didn't eat it all at once. We didn't want a sick puppy on New Years Eve.

Happy 1st Birthday, Fergie!
