Birthday Boy

Bentley turned one on the 19th of November. I put together a few of my fav shots from the last year.
He has been an absolute joy to have around. He is the 'ultimate' puppy - he is obedient, never chewed furniture, nipped or chased after the kids. I know that doesn't happen very often and I've had to do very little training as he catches on very quickly.
He is a gentle 'soul' that is a little unsure of himself at times, but with praise and encouragement he always comes out 'shining' like the star I know he is.

I love you Bentley!!!! Happy Birthday my Sweet Boy!!

It is a good thing I love this fella! I went out onto the deck the other day and noticed the brand new leather bbq cover was wet. It hadn't rained and I thought to myself... the kids must have been playing around with the dogs water jug. Silly me, I went outside last night after following the dogs out and watched SIR BENTLEY lift his leg and pee on it! What the heck is he thinking? I guess anything in the yard is fair game for 'marking' on ...lol!! BOYS!!!!!

On a good note, he has been an 'angel' for a puppy. So if this is the worst he ever does... well, I guess I should count my blessings. LOL!!

Amazing the fun, excitement and hyperness that occurs when you throw a new toy in with two Labs. lol!

Rowan is taking a breather with 'the new toy' while her little brother is off at the water bowl quenching his thirst..lol!

Rowan says, "I love my boy!".

I sure don't know where the time has gone. Bentley will be 11 months tomorrow. Shocking!!

I love him SO!

The 'PUPPERS'

The 'puppers' live in thier birth province now. Our recent move to Wetaskiwin, has brought Rowan back to the same city she was born in July 2006. Bentley is only a few hours away from Calgary.

I took these pictures last night while the dogs were having some R and R after a wild romping play session.

Thanks to Brenda - TBOG for helping me out with the 'pet eye'.

My BOY!!!

I was playing around today with my camera on MANUAL setting..lol! I have to take some photographs for my photography course tonight. With a little help from my friends "photoshop" these photos didn't turn out too bad.

Isn't my boy - just the sweetest chocolate chunk?
