Our girl Breagha turns 3 today and you’re all invited to the party!

Rest is beneath the fold ~~ and it’s graphic intensive!
My first pictures of her! 8wks old.


Picking her up at the Ft. Lauderdale airport!
Getting to know each other…

Hard to believe that Bree was ever Zoe’s size!


We played – a lot!

And she grew like a weed.

Bree has always been graceful and athletic.


She learned the finer points of begging early on, mentored by an expert in the field…

…has never been averse to debasing herself…
![]()
…worried about the other collie trapped in the guest room mirror…

…is very gentle with smaller or weaker animals…

…and people who need her brand of love…

…still loves watching for her Dad…

…and playing with him…

…can impersonate a deer at will…

…has done quite a bit of pretend traveling…

…learns very quickly…

…plays well with others…

…has always been beautiful…

…and always will be.

Happy Birthday, Big Love. You are truly one of a kind!

Happy Birthday Bree!!!!!!!!!
I am trying to convince my husband that our next dog should be a smooth collie…he’s still not convinced but the pictures of Bree growing up definitely help.

(If your mom gives you all of these virtual gift bones at once, you’ll get sick – so ration them wisely, or share the joy with DaMDoG.)

Bree says ‘Aarrrr!’, which means thank you in Pirate-ese. I think.
