I got up thinking this morning, oh boy, another birthday just to remind me I'm getting old! But then, as always, I remember the best present I ever got for my birthday....a little ball of blonde fluff exactly 10 years ago (actually on the 5th, which was yesterdays date) and my life was never the same.....This is my first birthday without her, so it is quite bittersweet, but oh wow, I will ALWAYS have the best memories of her at birthday time. I will celebrate her today in happiness, of the awesome eternal love, happiness, and bonding we shared......Miss you precious girl, but I will have extra cupcakes for you, and Pearl will get extra treats as well!!
Love to all,
Bonnie and Angel Polly
Happy Birthday Bonnie!!! Oh my goodness, look at Polly as a puppy.....sooooo adorable!!! We will celebrate today as well, cheers to the greatest birthday present a girl could ever have. Whoever said diamonds were a girls best friend obviously never had a dog 
Extra treats, wine and cupcakes all around today!!!

Bonnie I hope you have a very happy birthday filled with joyful reminiscence about all of the happy times you shared with Polly! Look at those feet on her tiny puppy body, what a sweetie! Best. Gift. Ever!

Happy Birthday Bonnie,
I hear you, when we get to a certain age we try and forget but when you get a present like Polly that makes the whole idea sweeter. Give extra hugs to Pearl and yourself for being a great fur mommy.

Happy Birthday Bonnie! What a wonderful Birthday present Polly was! So cute! May your good memories outweigh your tougher ones today! Thinking of you, Lori and TY
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
I WANT A LAB PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!! OMD!!!! That is THE CUTUEST, MOST ADORABLE, KISSABLE, SMOOCHABLE, HUGGABLE PUPPY EVER!!!!
Polly grew into such a beautiful, lovely girl.....but as a puppy......CUUUUUUUUUUTIE PATOOOOOOOOTIE!!!
We celebrate your birthday and the day Polly jumped into your heart! FOREVER!!!
You better believe Polly is eating bowls of ice cream and platters full of cake!! Happy Hannah is in charge of these catering events and she makes sure the guest of honor ALWAYS gets desert FIRST, then the grilled steaks with bacon and cheese biscuits...not a veggie in sitght!!!
That's right Elizabeth, don't need no stinkin' diamonds when you've got dog bling next to your side!
Hugs and love to you sweet Bonnie...and swett Pearl too! We celebrate the birth of a beautiful and compassionate soul!
Sally and My Eternal Light Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!
Oh, what's this? Merry Myrtle made a birthday card for you!!!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Oh Bonnie - Happy Birthday! Make a wish you never know what Polly has in store for you lol.
Happy Birthday Bonnie. I hope you have had a great day
Hugs

Thank you everyone for the wishes, and Sally, I can just picture Happy Hannah in charge of the yummy treats over the Bridge! I had to seriously chuckle thinking of that !! And I really want to smoosh and kissy-face that precious Merry Myrtle face! Elizabeth, that is one of my favorite quotes AND true beliefs.....MUCH rather have the love and bond with a loving dog than any diamond or gem. Jerry, absolutely the best gift ever.........
My hubby got me a dozen Baltimore Orioles decorated cupcakes, and was working my way through them earlier.....will continue tomorrow, don't want cupcake overload tonight! Pearl had Frosty Paws and peanut M&M's, our other favorite!!
Love to all,
Bonnie & my Angel Polly
