Carlos’ birthday

Yesterday was Carlos’ first birthday.  We celebrated by having a swim party while he slept in the sunshine on the pool deck (one of his favorite things).  The younger girls and I went grocery shopping and picked up all their supplies for summer camp.  Of course, we also picked up new dog toys for Carlos!  Saige baked him a cake!  We could not sing to him while  Evie was here, because she has developed some aversion to the birthday song, and it literally makes her cry!  

Carlos didn’t seem to mind waiting for his cake! Carlos is a funny little dog.  I never envisioned having a little dog around.  Honestly, I laughed when Andrew brought home Maxine (the mother dog).  This week, Maxine passed away and we all found ourselves very sad.  It is weird how our views change.   I can’t imagine our lives without Carlos having been a part of it.  He is a mess, still has accidents, loves killing things like little snakes, lizards and moles, usually has terrible breath, and we are still all crazy about him.   Little stinky dog, we love you!
