There was no cake or special meat-biscuits (we did sneak some snacks into her breakfast), but we did a morning photoshoot to celebrate Pepper's (our first child) turning five.
We are so lucky that this little lady (16 months old when we got her) came into our lives in late 2011.
She is a loving, loyal, protective companion who has really changed our lives for the better (and made us into responsible parents!). When I hear of friends or family losing their pets, I tear up because, even though Pep is only five and we hope to have many more years (?decades) with her, I know that losing her will be devastating.
This morning, she was surprisingly tolerant of our photo-taking...
... while Iver has a much harder time sitting still, for photos or otherwise!
blocks toppling over...
Look at our patient little pup!
Pepper is such a sweet "big sister." While Iver is crawling around everywhere, trying to grab her tail and climb on her, she sometimes escapes but, more often than not, tries to lick his face and feet. She also tends to come into his *room* to watch over him while he's sleeping (or crying).
I think that 4-5 years between children is a good gap. We have that ;)
P.S. Our landlord told us today that, if you go on google maps and click street view for our house, you will see our little Pepper as the "doggie in the window."!
