Cassie is 12!

Yesterday was Cassie's birthday. Although we never knew exactly when our little pound puppy was born, we slated Groundhog Day as the day to celebrate as it was about the right time.

In January when all our family was here for a wonderful visit, the three of us sat on the same bench for a group shot that was taken when she first arrived in our family. (We're ALL a bit older now--and definitely colder!). Although she is now a 'mature woman'--there is much of that puppy still inside--as noted by the leaps through the barbed wire fence multiple times later in the walk! (Cheeze!)

So--here's to many more, Cassie!
