MISSING MISSY

MY OH MY, MISSY.

How great are these pictures of Missy looking out on our porch.  When I come home, I always look forward to seeing her little head poking out waiting to greet me.  Dogs really do have the best hearing, because it seems like she always knows when I'm coming.  She also loves to watch my brother skateboard.  When he skates down the street she whimpers and cries like someone who's lover is going away for a long time.  When he turns the corner down our street and comes back into sight, she wags her tail furiously in delight.  She's so adorable.  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MISSY!

It was Missy's birthday a few days ago.  Can't believe this little rascal is already one years old.  It seems like she has been a part of our family longer.  I actually never even met her until she was 6 months old and at the height of her terrorizing stage (she destroyed everything she came in touch with).  Even though she's a bit more mellow now, she's still a pup at heart who loves going through laundry, chasing birds, and is curious with just about everything.  I've been teaching her how to jump and now she can do some crazy tricks like doing a ninja jump off the wall.  My parents weren't too happy about that.  Now, I can't imagine life without Missy.  She sure has brought a lot of fun and love back into our lives.
