Fourth Year

Dear all,

Chewbacca has grown by leaps and bounds. Still a puppy in many ways but adores his day care buddies as well as his new sister. Samantha Marie was born into the Mahoney Clan and Chewbacca has welcomed her with lots of kisses!

His training started the day we found out we were pregnant and though he had a few hiccups, he is the most gentle and loving dog with Samantha. Always there when she cries. Follows her around like her guard aka best friend. He is there always by her side. He walks with her daily.

In fact that was the one thing that went smoothly since day one...the training with the stroller. Chewbacca immediately took to the stroller. It was amazing. Day one he obeyed. Introducing baby toys (particularly ones that squeeked) were most challenging but he leaves everything alone once they were brought into the home.

We only had a small rebellion about 5 months before she was born (pooped in front of some of the baby items - swing, toy box, etc...- for a few nights but that ended within 48 hours). But since then, he has been awesome with her and we could not be more proud.

Chewbacca can even be left with Samantha on the floor with her toys and he leaves her alone. Guarding near by. Watching out for her like a big brother should. Comes and gets mom as soon as she starts to fuss too!

We are so honored to have Chewbacca in our lives and as we celebrate his birthday today, we remember him and are honored to have such a great friend, companion and big brother in our family.

love, your mother
