Happy Birthday Sammy Doodle Malley!

Today is Sammy's second birthday. We are really excited to celebrate with her tonight. Unfortunately, the poor girl is cooped up all day while I'm here at work, but tonight I plan to make up for it with some special treats and new toys. She is such a perfect little companion and Charlie and I love her more each day. Here are the top 5 reasons why we love Sammy:

5. It's so easy to make Sammy's day, there are 3 things that Sammy loves to hear: Do you want to go in the car, Dog Park and Let's go for a walk. By saying any one of these things you can immediately make her day.

4. Sammy is a really good listener. I wish I had a little video for you, because if I did you could see that when you talk to Sammy she really looks you right in the eye and cocks her head at just the right time to make you think she's really considering whatever it is that you just said. It's very sweet.



3. Sammy thinks the bed is her bed. This may not seem like a reason to love Sammy more, but it's really fun to have a doodle that just wants to sleep with you. She usually ends up down by my feet or on her back right between us.



2. She is super dramatic. Sammy is generally one of three emotions, totally EXCITED!, really happy, or frustrated. You can tell the difference because when she is EXCITED! she runs around in circles and for reasons only known to Sammy kind of scrunches down so her belly is closer to the floor and when she's just happy she usually has a ball in her mouth and/or a big smile and when she's frustrated she makes very dramatic whining noises and collapses to the floor over and over again. She usually creates these frustrated moments by putting one of her balls under some furniture.

1. Sammy LOVES to cuddle. From the first days that we had Sammy she has always loved to snuggle up and take a nap with us. One of Sammy's most enduring moves is to lay her little head over your chest or neck and fall asleep. Actions do speak louder than words and just try not to get the I LOVE YOU message when Sammy decides to take a nap right next to your face.
