Happy Day

 It's Taffy's Birthday (well, November 15th, but we didn't make it to the Blog, we were too busy celebrating.)

Not many people know that her full name is Torbec Bondi True North.  A suprising number of people know her by Taffy...  When you are a resort dog, you get to meet a LOT of people...  She is well named, though, as she has in her own way been my compass for the past four years and is not only very sweet, but likes to stick close to my side...

So here I am to say thanks to this counter-surfing, garbage-investigating, bed-hogging dog who has made sure that my house never feels empty, and who is my shadow whatever I am doing, and who makes sure I am up every morning (often earlier than I would prefer) and out that door...

Thanks Taffy, for bringing so much joy... You are now FOUR, and therefore should be past that stage of jumping up (but are not), but you are a joy.

Here is a collection of some of my favourite pictures.  Hopefully they will bring smiles to all of you, too!
