A Girl’s Best Friend

Hours of relentless barking at the neighbors {or dogs on TV}…

Countless cherished items lost to a chewing fetish…

Too many pee stains on the carpet to count…

Thousands of dollars in expensive vet bills…

Three years with the most lovable and faithful companion a girl could ever have…

Ready to go out...

Priceless.

Happy Birthday Renoir! My favorite little man turns 3 today…and we are going to celebrate! Here are some fun photos of Renoir from the past few years…

Bonding

Bonding…three years ago…when we just barely knew each other but our love was already so very strong.

Will share photos of the day’s festivities later in the week! Off to kiss my birthday boy!

    Oh what a darling, I enjoyed seeing all the picture, but the last one tugged at my heart. The face expression on that dog with you holding him is a tear jerker, I could just love him to pieces… What a sweet little baby!!

    Happy Birthday Renoir! You are just a couple of weeks older than me! I hope you get toys and treats and walks – and run to your hearts content!
    Love, Dazzle (I’m the dog who owns Violet)

    Awww.. Happy Birthday Renoir! He has a face of an angel!! Just way too cute for his own good!
    Photos of Renoir bring both happiness and a tug of sadness for me.. My sweet “Sage” passed away last Saturday from congestive heart failure. He was a stray, and only 5 months old when we met 10 years ago. I scooped him up and brought him home that very day.. He was the dearest friend, with a heart of gold. He gave us so many years of sweet memories. I was fortunate to spend the last few minutes with him in my arms before he passed away at home. I love him so~ Enjoy Renoir everyday, he’s a such cutie pie and so precious~
    Thank you so much Alice for your post, my heart is smiling…

    I have a dog named Da Vinci. He looks a bit like your dog, and it’s like living with a cartoon character. Happy birthday to your sweet Renoir.

    I’m always so happy to meet someone who loves their pets so much. Renoir has the sweetest eyes! I have an adorable golden retriever named Molly and a 13 year old grey tabby named Arthur who doesn’t know he’s old. Happy birthday to Renoir!
