Love is Patient: The Terrible Two's!!!

Our little baby, Trigger, turned 2 years old on June 18th!!! I can't believe this little love bug is already two years old! I feel like it was just the other day when we brought her home. Time goes by so fast!!! She is so much fun and really does complete our little family. However, she is a big mess!!! We call her our little "sassy girl." She is a big talker and anytime you say anything to her she either yips at you or has this little playful growl that she does. It's hilarious! She also loves to play with her bone. And, when she has it in her mouth, she is constantly making noises trying to get you to play with her or chase her around the house with it. But you can't ever catch her because she is so quick! Faith just watches her when ever she and Sarge play. She has to make sure that their both ok...she's our little momma bear! Sarge and Trigger also play like crazy out in the backyard. They chase each other and will run around for hours if we let them. Sometimes, they sound like their fighting because they'll roll around on the grass and growl at each other, then the next time you look out their giving each other sugars! Too cute! All the while Faith is watching attentively from the back porch. There were a few times when Trigger was younger, Faith thought Sarge had hurt her and she ran out there and got in between them, then licked Trigger until she realized that Trigger was being a tease! For Trigger's birthday, we decided to let her play and play and play all day long. I also made her some birthday cookies that she shared with her brother and sister...and even gave a couple to her cousins! This little diddle was tuckered out after a full day of going for a run, playing all day, and stuffing herself with several b-day cookies! I'll explain the "little diddle" nickname. I'm honestly not sure when I started calling her this...but one day I said it to her and it just stuck. She's really pretty small for a lab...she only weighs 55 pounds. So, since she's so petite and little, we always make comments to her about how small she is. I guess one day I just said to her that she was so little...diddle kinda rhymes with little...so there you go! We love our three doggies so much and have so much fun spoiling them (even more than normal) on their birthdays! Our little Trigger is one special girl. There is no other puppy that could compare to her sweet and fun personality. Her little tail is always wagging, she always wants to give love and sugars, and she can make you feel so much better when you've had a bad day. All of our doggies do that, they great us at the door with their tails wagging...wiggly butts!!! But, there is something about her...she just has so much love in her eyes and wants to give love all the time. She also wants to get lovin all the time! She will sit on top of you, paw at your hand when you're not loving on her so that you will love on her, and crawl up in your lap to snuggle. Even when she's sound asleep, she'll wake-up when you get close to her and give you a little sugar. She's full of life and love! We love you Triggy!!!

Two years old and just as sweet as she can be!!!

Our sweet Faithy girl! I had just put Trigger's birthday cookies in the oven...so she was keeping really close to the kitchen!

All our lovies!!!

Little cutie! Look at those eyes! She gets whatever she wants with that look!

Playing fetch. We have to switch off between Faith and Trigger going to get the ball. Otherwise, Trigger would go and steal it from Faith every time. So, we have to tell one of them to stay while the other one goes to get the ball. It was Faith's turn this time...Trigger can hardly stand it!
