All Good Things Come To An End

This is it, folks ... this is the last official day of 365puppy. When I started this blog, I wanted to document Dexter's first year and today Dexter Morgan (and all the Peanut Gang) are one year old. I didn't always get a photo up every day, because I sure underestimated how difficult that would be, but I did my best to chart his growth and his progress in photos.

It's hard to believe that this little peanut

Is now this handsome young adult!

Who knew he'd turn out so darn well? And so good lookin' too :)

He is now one year old, 40lbs and almost 23" at the shoulder. He's a lean machine, full of heart, full of try, and full of wonderfully, snuggly love. He's turning into a FANTASTIC dog, and I'm looking forward to many more years of discovery with my GiraffeDog!

Happy Birthday to ALL the Peanuts Gang - Ace, Ally, Cricket, Gin, Hoot, Paddy and Sagan.

Thanks to all of you for sharing this journey with us. I'm not going to be posting daily, or even quasi-daily updates anymore - this is it. From time to time, I will throw up an update, or a photo I particularly like, and for the next few days I will be posting new photos of Dex's siblings so you can see what everyone looks like now ... but if you want to continue to see Dex on a regular basis, you'll have to visit him, and the rest of the gang, at Wootube.

Estar Bien ... y Feliz Cumpleanos Dexter Morgan y la familia!!

Tt's been a great year! Don't forget to come see us all at Wootube :)

  3. Happy Birthday Dex. Thank you Food Lady for providing a wonderful and joyful (and all the 'fuls') experience in watching Dex grow. (He was the one I would have picked as well from the group...what a sweet little peanut he was.) Enjoy having him in your world. Thanks for sharing.

  8. *wipes tear with sleeve* Thanks for the wonderful ride FL! I've enjoyed every minute, every photo, and every letter of every word. Can you believe that little puddin' turned into the handsome, intelligent, athletic giraffe that he did? It's been fun watching his development along with the hands-on growth of his sister Gin in our home... They're a great bunch of pups, and I consider myself one of the luckiest people alive to have been entrusted with a Peanut. Dex was born to be yours :-) The future is bright!

  16. It's been great seeing a precious puppy grow into a wonderful dog! I do miss the "shocking" younger face, tho! LOL

    I think you should do a post of all your "La Familia" photos from when Dexter joined! It'd be neat to see his growth in comparison with the other dogs of the family. :)
