Happy Birthday, Marley!

Today is a BIG day in our house.  Our little puppy, Marley, is turning one.  She's been such a wonderful dog to know and love.  I have always wanted a Great Dane and she has only strengthened my love for the breed.  She's intelligent, gentle, great with the kids, protective, funny, has only ruined one pair of shoes, and loves to snuggle.  Of course, she also thinks she's a lap-dog at times and uses her height advantage for things like getting your attention (kinda hard to ignore her when you're sitting on the couch and her head is the same height as yours) cleaning off the edges of the kitchen table and peering in the windows on the ground floor.  But we love her all the same!

Happy Birthday Marley!  We're so happy you are a part of our family!

The day she joined our family, Nov 15 2008



She'd grown quite a bit by early March!


In late April, she napped with Mikayla and Sunny


In May, she showed her size comparison with the same bowl from her first day here



This past week, with her bowl again



What a pretty girl!  Still a little gangly, but this next year she'll start to fill out more
and not be so skinny and anorexic looking--trust me, she's NOT anorexic!
