Can you Believe It?

Can it be that this handsome boy is 5 years old?

We bought McDuff just 2 days after moving to Louisville. The deal I made with Christian was if he moved me across the country away from family, he had to buy me a dog. We did research on the breed and decided on a Westie due to low shedding, cutenessability, size, etc.
McDuff has brought so much joy into our lives. He is such a lazy, easy going and fun dog. He loves to go in the car, chase squirrels, EAT, go on walks, snuggle with his mommy, play fetch with his squirrel toy, visit with Bob, and wait next to Berkeley when he is eating (best vacuum money could buy).

This was the first day we got McDuff, he was 8 weeks old. He was pretty tuckered out and just fell asleep in his water bowl.

We thought he would grow into his ears, but he never did. I have never seen a Westie as big as he is or who has as big of ears, but it is easy to fall in love with those adorable things.

He has had his fair share of getting into trouble.....

but perhaps it is payback for all the torture we put him through.
We love you Mr. McDuff. Happy 5th Birthday. You are officially older than your parents in dog years.

I love the picture of McDuff asleep by his water bowl. So cute! It makes me miss my dog.
