Guess who turned 1?!

Izzy Marie is no longer a puppy.....well, I take that back. Unfortunately, she's still ALL puppy! But we did celebrate her first birthday on June 16th.




With her love of chewing, (things she's supposed to chew and things she's definitely NOT supposed to chew) we found her the largest "busy bone" they make.




I made it last 3 days, but if you would have let her, she would have had it gone in about an hour.




"I really don't like that dog."




Izzy got a pool for her birthday too! She had to test out the waters first.




Then it was play time!



She would dunk her head under the water to get the golf balls.
















Then we dry off on the sun.



"Ahhh. This is the life!"



"Thanks Mom and Dad!"




This is how Izz gets the sticks out of the pool.




Izzy says, "No sticks in the pool!"




"No footballs in the pool either!"




"And definitely no golf balls in the pool!" :)

Oh my goodness, she is so funny! =) I've never seen a dog do that! Happy Birthday Izz!

Haha! She's insane! :)

Aww, Izz likes to keep a nice, clean pool. Crazy dog.
Happy Birthday, Izzy --now I'll never forget since she shares a birthday with Jeff!

JLBarnes said...

Yep! :) She wants to celebrate with Jeff next year! :)

Wow! I had no idea they made busy bones that big! Maddie loves them, too. When she was little, the stuff in the busy bone used to stick to her gums and we had to help her push it down into her mouth. She looked so funny trying to get it herself. How did you know Izzy would love to have a pool to play in? Very cool gift!

P.S. Maddie Lynn wants to tell you she likes her new middle name!

JLBarnes said...

Haha! Poor Maddie! Izzy mowed the busy bone down like a beaver chewing on wood! I don't think it was in her mouth long enough to get stuck! :) I figured Izz would like a pool because, during our rainy season, we used to get a huge mud puddle in our driveway that she would wade in. I figured it'd be even better if it was clean, so she didn't have to have a bath afterward! :) Izzy will share her pool with Miss Maddie Lynn when we come back!

Love the Izzy videos! The one with the sticks is so hilarious!

Maddie Lynn says to thank Izzy for offering to share her pool but says no thank you - it sounds too much like having a BATH!
