Yesterday was the 3rd anniversary of the day I adopted Whiskey and I can hardly believe it’s only been three years.
 |
| Looking out the office window, 24 stories up (Summer 2009) |
He was so small and scraggly when I first got him, with his sunken in cheeks and piano key ribs.
 |
| Summer 2009 |
He was a big dog trapped in a small dog body.
 |
| November 2009 |
Life with him has brought on many changes, like having to check under pillows and throws before I sit down.
 |
| Summer 2010 |
He loves boat rides with his best friend.
 |
| Summer 2010 |
He loves naps on the couch (which they are not supposed to do.)
 |
| Christmas 2010 |
and cuddling up by a Christmas fire.
 |
| Fall 2011 |
He loves car trips…as they usually lead to another adventure.
 |
| Summer 2011 |
…especially when someone exciting is at the other end.
 |
| Winter 2010 |
…and even when he is just a pillow for Shadow. Can you tell how much they love each other?
 |
| Summer 2009 |
He’s been to the Atlantic Ocean in Maine.
 |
| Summer 2009 |
…and sat atop a historic cannon in Quebec City.
 |
| Spring 2012 |
He has frolicked in the fields
 |
| Spring 2011 – with Garrett’s grandmother |
and has eaten many a TimBit donut.
 |

He has watched his first Santa Claus parade.
 |
| Winter 2012 |
and nursed a few small injuries : (
 |
| November 2009 |
He has become an expert at attacking toes and pant legs…
 |
| Christmas 2011 |
…even wrapping paper is at risk of attack…
 |
| Winter 2012 |
….as well as toy bugs.
 |
|
Fall 2011
|
Warm laundry is deemed an appropriate napping location.
 |
| Fall 2011 |
He has made it known that he is the official watch dog of the woods near our house. Squirrels beware.
 |
| December 2009 |
…and shown me the importance of a post-walk nap in a sunbeam.
 |
| Winter 2012 |
He’s enjoyed the soft feeling a newly made dog bed.
He’s had a stocking for our first Christmas together.
 |
| Christmas 2009 |
…and found the perfect Christmas attire for a sweater loving dog.
 |
| Spring 2011 |
He has worn bling.
 |
| Halloween 2010 |
 |
| Halloween 2009 |
….a taco.
 |

and a bow tie.
 |
| Winter 2010 |
He has been given the nickname “The Tatertot” for being the world’s smallest couch potato.
 |
| Summer 2010 |
…and shown me what happens to my nightime glass of water at my parents’ house.
 |
| Summer 2011 |
He has “helped” in the kitchen when I’ve dropped some Perfectly Popped Stovetop Popcorn.
 |
| Thanksgiving 2010 |
…and been an inspector for this 27 lb Thanksgiving turkey. (He is only 11 lbs himself!)
 |
| Fall 2010 |
He has been nicknamed “The Pretzel” for his ability to fold into impossibly difficult positions.
 |
|
Christmas 2011
|
Or maybe a kangaroo?
 |
| Winter 2011 |
He has braved 3 long Canadian winters.
 |
| Winter 2010 |
Although sometimes it gets too cold.
 |
| Winter 2010 |
…and then he retreats to under the covers.
 |
| Winter 2012 |
Now he is a bit better with the new winter coat my mama made him.
He has been the best little dog a girl could hope for and I look forward to more years of adventures together.
