Last week marked the third birthdays of Donegal and Wicklow. Three years old!
We adopted both pups at the same time. They were even in side-by-side cages! I spotted Donegal, and knew I had to get her...she looked so much like my childhood dog, Buster.
Just then, the rolly-polly white pup in the next cage was plopped on the floor, to have his cage cleaned. I looked down past my extremely pregnant belly at this little fluff ball, and asked Matt to pick him up for me (no way was I going to try that). As soon as I had him, he snuggled against my neck. Heart? Melting...
I told Matt we were going to have to take both puppies. He thought I was kidding...shows what he knows.
Oddly, people have always asked if Donny and Wicklow were sister and brother. My knee-jerk reply was usually 'do you have eyes?'. I never actually say that, though.
They were born just a few days apart, but not from the same mother!
Anyway.
For their birthday, I baked them a cake (boxed, c'mon...it's for the dogs!), cut it into the shape of a bone, and covered it in peanut butter frosting.
Cut it in half, and handed it over to the pups.
Donegal, the piglet, devoured the whole thing. Wicklow picked at it. Oh, well.
Happy Birthday, my sweet, cuddly pups!
(I hope to put up their 'baby' photos later)

Back when I was still pregnant with Alex, Matt would sometimes bring home those little store-made trays of sushi for me. Wasn't exactly good sushi, but it was quick and easy to eat (I had very little appetite at the time). Once, the dogs made a bit...

Poor dogs, they spent a week with the vet (nice enough accomodations, but that doesn't mean they were happy about it) while we were on 'vacation', so I I not only missed my pups, I missed last week's WDB! Well, then...lots of cute puppy...

All that worrying about Macroom had Wicklow and Donegal tuckered out. The problem was, there wasn't enough room on the couch for everyone. No big. Wicklow just climbed on top of Donegal, and made himself comfortable. Be sure to visit Sweetnicks...

Last week, the pups celebrated (ok, we did most of the actual celebrating) their second birthdays (Donegal on Tuesday and Wicklow Friday). We brought out the (appropriately enough) Scooby Doo party hats, bought them fancy treats at the store, and I...
