Happy Birthday Sisci Godzilla!

Sisci Godzilla turned three years old on November 20th, and in great and glorious Dog Geek tradition, she got a birthday candle picture to commemorate the occasion. Look how much she has grown up!

Happy Birthday Godzilla!

Sisci Godzilla is two years old today! Every year I bake the dogs a cake on their birthdays, put a number candle in it, and take a picture. That's a bacon applesauce cake topped with cream cheese and bacon sprinkles.

I'm surprised at how much more grown up Godzilla looks at two, she has a far more mature-looking face. She's also significantly more muscular, basically the canine version of a body builder. People put their hands on her and go "wow!"

I had hoped to start competing in agility by now, but we've taken a few weeks off while our instructor is competing around the country. In the meantime, we've gotten Godzilla's first lure coursing title, and a leg towards her first AKC herding title as well!

I think our biggest achievement is working together on the sheep ranch, though. Sisci Godzilla is happy to demonstrate that ranch work isn't just for border collies. She is my superdog, and the decision to keep her is largely the cause of our move and current work situation. Every time I look at her, I think "Wow, I made the right choice!"

Happy 11th Birthday Brisbane!

Brisbane is eleven years old today and we're celebrating! Not too long ago I thought he wouldn't make it this far. His cancer diagnosis makes it uncertain whether this will be his last birthday, but for now he is happy and active.

Every year I make Brisbane a birthday cake, decorate it with a number candle, and take a picture...
