Can't believe it - Bond is 1 year old today!

I can't believe my little puppy is now a year old. Bond and his sisters are celebrating birthday #1 today!

:excited: :bdcake2: :excited:

Seeing I work all this weekend, Todd and I took both Bond and Chewie to a great little park near our house yesterday as a birthday treat. It's always been a favorite, as we live out on the prairie surrounded by crops. This park is nestled in the oxbows of a river and is nice and wooded.

Wildwood County Park:


And of course there are the usual cornfields just to get in there!


The first thing after leaving the parking lot is the suspension bridge - he took it like a pro :D

Todd was ahead, carrying his fishing gear :wink:

My water lovers had to stop and check out the river under us. It's really low this year (drought)...but more water than I thought it might be.


We left Todd out on a sandbar fishing...and hit the trails!


On the edge -


..and away we go!






We stopped for a group photo, using the timer and a handy log -


Then we stopped back to visit Todd - sadly, no fish :(


Heading back - 1st over the regular bridge -


Then the suspension bridge - better check it out.... :wink:


The boys


and heading back over -





(I have to hold on to the side cables - it's bouncy! 8O )

Back at the parking lot - it's bordered in big boulders




THEN, last night we also had herding class (talk about a great OES birthday, right??!)
Here is Bond after he got his turn...he looks so satisfied :lol:


And, the best for last...THE END

Great pics! I love the pic of "the boys" wink wink LOL

Dawn, thanks so much for sticking with it and working through the technical problems getting these posted.

THANKS!!

Do you happen to have a pic of that suspension bridge from the side? I'd love to see that.
:bdcake2: HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOND :bdcake2:


Looks like a very fun birthday!!! I can't believe the year mark already either. Bond and Chewie are so photogenic!!

Thanks Ron :cheer:
(I had issues, and he found the problem!)

I don't have one from the side...hmmm, gives me an excuse to get back and visit the park, right?
For a little, totally rural tiny county park, it has 2 really cool bridges. :D
:bdcake2: :bdcake2: :bdcake2:

Happy Birthday, Bond!

Sounds like an excuse for ice cream! (I'm sure if you didn't get any today, he'd forgive you -- as long as you got him an extra large tomorrow!)

Glad you all had such fun.
Happy Birthday, Bond!!


Such handsome boys :kiss: :kiss:
:bdcake2: HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY BOND! :bdcake2:

Great pictures Dawn! That looks like a great park for a hike.

Happy Birthday Bond!
HAPPY 1ST :bdcake2: BIRTHDAY BOND!!


Dawn: I loved all you pics. What a great park you have to go to....even something for Todd to do while you hike. I'm sure TipUp was disappointed when Todd came home fishless. I love the bridges too.
:bdcake: Happy 1st Birthday Bond :bdcake:

What a great day with Mommy, Daddy and your big brother.
HAPPY 1ST B.DAY...BOND!!!!

Yay Bond! Happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Belated Bond!!!
Happy 1st Birthday Bond! :bdcake2:

What a fun, fun birthday you had.
Ohhh those pictures are very cute. What a big fluffy sheepie!
Oh no it can't be! It's way too early for Bond to be turning 1. If Bond is 1, that means my baby will be 1 too real soon :(

Happy Birthday beautiful boy!! :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: :banana:

Yep, your baby birthday is just around the corner. :?

He did have a really good time at the park, and then having herding class after was totally icing on his little sheepdog cake!!!

:high5: :banana: :high5:


I forgot to mention, wow Chewie looks so different with the short cut, is this the first time you ever cut him so short? I wonder if I'd recognize Mady if she was trimmed short!

This is the 3rd time he has been that short.
The 1st time was after he finished his show CH - haircut day, with his sister Martha :


This was 2009

And then last year in September before we went and did the TDI Disaster tryouts :


(I didn't want us to seem too "high maintenance" and not get picked! 8O )

and this was at Nationals in September - his 1 year of hair regrowth.


I got home Saturday night, and cut it all off Monday morning - still in my PJ's. :wink:
He was a bit shocked acting for a couple days, but now he is SO happy. He's such a hot dog, that less hair makes him so much cooler. I like the hair, but he needs a break now and then. And it's also harness season - we will be starting our fall carting runs to get ready for dog sledding this winter - and this it totally the way to go!

Bond is a hottie ( :kiss: ) too, but he's just going to have to live with all his hair for awhile! Ah, the life of a show dog... :phew:
1 year old CRIKEYS 8O That has flown by 8O

Happy first to your special big boy. Cant believe how fast he has bloomed. All MAN Luv him :kiss: :ghug:
Oh my how the year has flown by! Happy 1st Birthday Bond!!

Our little floppsy mopsy boy will be turning one in a week & 1/2. 8O Can't believe it! :bdcake:
