Last Thursday was a big day in our house.  February 9th marked Bandit being with me for one year!  In some ways it feels like just yesterday I brought home a straggly looking dog, and in other ways it seems as though he’s been with me forever!  Since Bandit was a stray, I also don’t know his exact birthday, so his one year anniversary with me also marks his birthday! We believe Bandit to be around 2 years-old.

This was Bandit when he showed up to my house a year ago before seeing a groomer for the first time.  I can’t believe I didn’t think enough to take some real pictures of him with something other than my phone!  I could kick myself now.

And this is Bandit today.  If you didn’t know by now, yes, I am THAT person.  The type of person who puts birthday hats on her dog to celebrate!
