We are posting two days early. We are going on vacation tomorrow morning up to the high country in Arizona. I am going to take my computer with me but not sure that I will get service up there and I just couldn't ignore Tasha's 10th month ampuversary.
Tasha continues to run strong, be happy and as active as she can be in the heat of the desert. She will be happy on vacation, it's so much cooler in the high country, she will have lots of room to wander and sniff new smells, lots of dirt to roll in, trees to lay under in the shade. She will be one happy very dirty girl for sure. We will take her into town on Sunday where she will get her ampuversary ICE CREAM and a HAMBURGER! She is getting two goodies for reaching double digits.
We are so amazed by our girl, so proud of her. Each day I get down on the floor with her, lay my head on her chest where her leg once was and I give thanks for being blessed for having her with me for another day.

No two ways about it, this is truly a reason for celebration and an early "Thanks Giving". Let me see . . Everything appears to be in order . . . extra hugs, extra playtime, extra (special) treats, and ICE CREAM. Yep . . . You have everything covered, so all we can do here is to cheer very loudly (that is the noise from WNW of you), raise a special toast, and give thanks for another wonderful milestone. If only logging onto this site was this great, I would be doing it much more often.
Since you are posting two days early, I guess that we will just have to extend our celebration through the weekend.
