JAVA CELEBRATES THE BIG 1-2 and Your Dog's Real Age

Now that the excitement from our
Stick Out Your Tongue Contest
is dying down,
we want to take a few minutes
to share Java's Birthday with you.

In true southern fashion,
the girls, Lilly and Carrleigh,
helped Mom in the kitchen
while we guys hung out
in the living room with Dad.
The aroma of
Organic Rocky Creek hamburgers
filled our house.
Our mouths were watering
and we could hardly wait to taste them.
Notice there are cheese on only
two of them.
The kitchen help scarfed down their cheese
before it made it's way to the hamburgers.
After having the burgers,
we were treated to this little cake.
Isn't it a cutie?
Don't get too excited -
it's only a little cake
made from 2 cupcakes.
And Mom bought it -
she might be a bread baker,
but her dessert making skills........
Well, we won't discuss that.
Mom and Dad decided that the easiest way
to keep buttercream frosting
from covering our floors
was to serve the cake outside in the grass.
Carrleigh immediately gobbled hers
and then tried to get everyone's cake,
but Mom and Dad
restrained her.
It was soooo good.

It seems strange, but just last week Mom got an email titled, "How old is your dog, really?" She decided to take the test for Java. All of this time we had been referring to a dog chart that says that Java's 12th birthday would put him at 94 years old. According to this test, Java is more like 53 years old. And yesterday, after that sugary cake, he was running like a pup!! If you want to take the test, go to http://www.dogage.com/reg/regassess.aspx?cbr=RA86_RA

Good News!!! Our cousin, Bea, is expecting puppies this week. We can hardly wait. She is such a good mother and is so generous about letting others play with the puppies. She is a Chocolate Lab and usually has at least 12 puppies in her litter. We'll be posting pictures as soon as we can.

XOXO
Lilly, Piper, Carrleigh and Java

This is a precious post of all your babies and the birthday party. You guys know how to celebrated!Happy birthday again!

Also I have a broom picture for you. Do you want me to email it to you. Or post it on my sidebar down at the page bottom and after you look at it, let me know and I'll remove it later. It was made I think by a person who called himself the BroomMan. It was purchased last summer at the festival in Abington, Va. I think I already told you that. My memory is not very good. I tell you what, right know while I'm online, I'll go ahead and put the picture on the sidebar. Just scroll to the bottom of the page until you find it. Just let me know when you have taken a look. Have a blessed day!

Oh dear, a sore subject for Momma. She says that since I am such a big guy I am very old even though I am only four years for real.
