HAPPY BIRTHDAY WINSTON

A little less than two years ago, before we were even engaged...Michael and I decided to take our relationship to the next level and we bought a puppy together!  We made the decision as a couple, but we had no idea how his sweet little face would change our lives.

Our little baby Winston was born on August 1st, 2009 and we picked him out after a long relaxing trip to St. Barth's with the Blades'.  After doing TONS of research on the breed, we drove over 2 hours out to a breeder, and it was love at first sight!  The second I picked that little stinker up and cuddled him up to my neck, I knew he was the one for us.  It's hard to believe our little tank was the size of a guinea pig when we picked him out.

But while the big guy has spent a large portion of his young life in the doggie E.R., in oxygen incubators, at the vet, on medication, under anesthesia, and in surgery...he is a good sport, a fighter and we love him tons. He's brought us so much joy as a little family and we know that having a high maintenance, special pooch is God's way of preparing us for the gift of children in the future.

Happy Birthday big guy, we love you to pieces!  XOXO
