Happy Birthday, Cricket

Happy Birthday, Cricket.  Eight years old today.  The time flies ... it really seems like just the other day you were happily running down the hallway of the Oregon Campus of GDB with Instructor Toby ready for us to meet! I loved you at first sight (funny phrase - well at first meeting :).  We have grown so much together and one of my favorite comments people say when we are out is You can tell how much she loves you by the look in her eyes.  I hope you have a wonderful day! In true Cricket fashion, you will be happy and content to spend it helping me and sharing your love.  Oh dear, often for Pantera's  (first guide) birthdays I made dog bone sugar cookies.  For your birthday, we will buy treats for the office :) and celebrate with the family at a little later date.  (you are so understanding of everyone's schedules :).  Thanks for your love, Cricker girl.

A special part of our family

Education at theMoran Eye Center with Susi, Lindsey and some special dogs at all phases!!  

Sweet memory/picture the night before Pantera died.  They were both so attentive and I loved how Pantera graciously acknowledged Cricket and I's bond in the transition from her retiring.  

A stop at the ocean with Mimi before meetings in San Rafael awhile ago.  

Happy Birthday, CRICKET!!
