Happy 8th Birthday to Me!

Hi everyone! Today is my 8th birthday! I can't believe it, and neither can my mommy! :) It seems like only yesterday that I was born. Mommy was on the phone with my breeder while my litter was emerging to the world, and just a few months later, I was already on my first roadtrip! I lived in Florida until we all relocated to Texas, in 2006. I still live here in a cute college town. Right now, spring is springing, and I'm having a lot of fun running laps in the yard and enjoying the new grass! Happy day to all of you! Thank you for your Dogster wishes! :)

Thank you, Dogster!

I love you all and I'm proud to be on dogster for nearly 6 years! whoo hoo!!!!!

Today I am 6!

Hi everyone! Today is my 6th birthday! My mommy is in NYC working today, but my daddy and my brother Orson are home in Texas with me, and I think they may be planning something! ;) I know that Mommy is planning something for me when she returns home. I've had an exciting year, running laps, playing with my tennis balls, barking my head off, and doing other Laika things! I also went on a road trip to Arkansas with my family last fall, to look at foliage (whatever! It must be a human thing.) Happy birthday to me!
Love, Laika xoxoox woof!

Happy Birthday to me!

Hi Everyone! Today is my 5th birthday! Can you believe it? I sure can't! It was five years ago today that my mommy talked with my breeder on the phone--while I was being born! I'm so glad that I live with my mommy, daddy, and brother Orson (check out his page)!!! Sending you lots of love!!

Happy B-day to me!

Hi everyone!!
Well, today is my fourth birthday--can you believe it? I can't!!! It seems like only yesterday that I was being born while mommy talked on the phone with Stacy, my breeder! I don't know if we have any special plans for my big day today, but I do know that I'm enjoying being cuddled up with my mommy RIGHT NOW as I dictate this to her. Over the past year, we've all enjoyed being here in Denton, Texas, where mommy is a professor at the University of North Texas. The other day we had over 8 inches of snow! It was very exciting. It's supposed to be over 80 degrees later this week--insane! Anyway, woof woof!!!! I love you!! Happy b-day to me and everyone else out there with today's bday, including Jack, my littermate here on Dogster. I wish I knew what happened to all of my littermates! :)
XOXOOXOX Laika! Woof!

today is my third birthday!

hi everyone!

today is my third birthday! wow! so much has happened in my short life already! when mommy got me, we lived in an apartment in florida, then we travelled with daddy and orson out to california to visit granny, then we came back to florida and moved into a house. a few weeks later we had to move out of that house because a hurricane put a tree in it, so we lived in a hotel for awhile, until i moved to el paso, texas with daddy. mommy and i were apart from november until july (except for visits), but then mommy, daddy, orson and i moved to ANOTHER house together in florida! we lived there for a year, but none of us liked living in orlando too much. it was always wet and muddy and we got fleas, even though we religiously take our frontline plus and get baths and do everything possible to avoid those pesky bugs! orson and i hated it, and mommy and daddy hated it, too! finally, though, mommy got a new job in a dryer place, so in july 2006 we all moved to denton, texas! yay! now we live in denton in ANOTHER house, and that's where i'm celebrating my third birthday today! i'm going to be a diva and parade around like a own the place (like every day!) and probably bark and be a brat!!! maybe i'll get some special treats today? i hope so :)

thanks for being my dogster friends! happy day to you!!!
