Happy 1st. Birthday ~*Bear*~ !!!!!!!!!!

Dear Donna,
I've been meaning to write for a while now, but never seem to get around to it. Our sweet bear celebrated his first birthday last week. It is hard to believe he has been with us for nearly a year. He has been such a wonderful addition to our family. He is everything we had hoped he would be and more. He has such a fun personality and is the "top dog" of the neighborhood. He loves to spend the day outside when the weather is nice then come inside to cuddle with us in the evening. He really enjoys going for trips in the car and meeting new people. He gets along great with other dogs, but really enjoys their people more. As for cats... all you have to say is "here kitty" and he'll come flying to see if it's one of his buddies. Probably the cutest thing to see is how excited he gets when his "dad" and kids come home. As soon as Bear sees or hears my husband's car come around the corner, he is at the backdoor waiting to greet him. If he doesn't get some attention the minute the door opens he howls to let you know about it. I've attached some pictures of Bear with his birthday bone and fast asleep on the stuffed poodle he got for his birthday. As you can see he has lost all of his brown spots and looks alot like his mommy Ivory-ecept for his gorgeous green eyes which are just like Spencer's.
Hope all is well with you and your family. Thanks again for the happiest, healthiest and most precious puppy.
