Fergie Ocean trip- part I

August 4, 2010 – 1:01 pm

This was Fergie’s first ever trip to the ocean, a big 5th birthday present from me, and to say she loved it would be the understatement of a lifetime. She ran, she played, she romped, she smiled, she dug, she napped, she sniffed and marveled, all with a sense of joy only felt by a dog. I can’t wait until our next trip to the ocean, and I’ll be sure to bring my camera again.

New flexible Kong frisbee- a gift from her grandpa. She LOVES that frisbee!

thick, heavy fog for 3 days was really cool and mysterious and kinda creepy. You really couldn’t see much of anything. Fergie would run ahead of me, and realize she couldn’t see me very well, then turn around and come back to make sure I was still there. It was so cute.

Happy Birthday Fergie + Ocean Bound!

July 6, 2010 – 3:18 pm

It’s my girl’s birthday today, and we’re off to the ocean to go play for the rest of the week. I can’t wait to see the look on her face when she sees the beach and ocean for the first time. I might just have to take video of it and share it here. See y’all next week!

Since no post is complete, here is a recent shot of the Fergs, taken at my Graffiti Dog’s shoot last weekend. I hadn’t planned on bringing her, but she gave me puppy dog eyes so I let her come. Boy am I glad I did.

Happy birthday month Fergie!

July 1, 2010 – 11:51 pm

We are all abuzz here in our little cottage. You see, it’s my darling canine girl’s birthday next Tuesday July 6th. What makes this year so special is not just that she is turning 5 this year, but also this is the first year since her 1st birthday her mom has actually remembered her birthday and has chosen to do something about it (woopsie). I love birthdays because they are a celebration of a person or animal’s life and unique spirit, and the fact that I’ve forgotten her birthday the past 4 years makes me very sad.

SO, I’m making it up to her. Big time. Next Tuesday we are going on a big birthday trip to the ocean for a week (her first ocean trip!) to a place where the dogs can run free on the beach. Fergie LOVES the beach and she is going to be out of her mind with happiness there. A couple of days ago I took her to her dog store and let her pick out a few gifts (to the tune of $200). Last Saturday I came home from my shoot and gave her her first gift, a soccer ball (her first!), which she promptly demolished within 5 minutes, a crazed smile on her face the entire time (see below). I’ve got even more surprises in store for my sweet girl, one of which is a totally custom designed collar. I’ll post pictures here of everything she gets, so you guys can all share the joy with us. I’ll be posting lots of photos of her during her birthday month (including bunches from the ocean trip!), and I’ll feel happiness in my heart knowing that I am celebrating this special pup’s life. I love you with all my heart Fergie girl, happy birthday sweetie.
