It was the beginning of August 1995 and as an early birthday present my parents took me to get my dream dog: a golden retriever. I was so excited! We went over to Ohio where there was a breeder dad found in the newspaper. There were only 3 puppies left - 1 boy and 2 girls, and the breeder was going to keep the boy. So, I went into this fenced in area and two of the puppies were not interested in me at all, but this one sweet fluffy red girl puppy ran up to me and started giving me kisses! I knew I had found my dream dog and she had picked me!
My Sunshine was around until early August 2009 when we had to put her to sleep because she had cancer. She was definately my dream dog in every way possible, as well as my best friend and I miss her so much. 
You are my Sunshine,
My only Sunshine
You make me happy,
When skies are gray
You'll never know dear,
How much I love you
Please don't take my Sunshine away
Asyra's new love is bathing suits! She was allowed to wear what she wanted to her day care for her birthday and she wanted to wear a bikini! Then for her birthday party she wore this cute ballerina bathing suit. She got the princess shoes for her birthday and looks so grown up!
Here I was trying to get a good pic of her with her cake, but instead got a sneaky one of her with icing on her face after taking a bite out of the side of the it!
This is a pic of me and Pablo the Chihuahua with the same facial expressions.
And finally, a gratuitous pic of me and Phil after the party!

Another reason I like Orbit is that *some* of the flavors have Xylitol as an ingredient. Xylitol is a sugar substitute. The bacteria in your mouth that make cavities think that it really is sugar so they eat it but can't digest the xylitol and end up dying. I *think* the Orbit Gum that contains Xylitol are the packages that are American Dental Association (ADA) Accepted. I know for sure that my picks of Sweet Mint (even though the picture above doesn't show it) and Cinnamint have the ADA Seal and include Xylitol as an ingredient, but I'm not sure about the Berry Red. All Orbit Gum is sugarfree though.
So when you are at the grocery store check-out, make sure you see three things on your gum's packaging to make sure it is good for your teeth:Also, Xylitol can be life-threatening to animals who consume it, so keep it out of your furry friend's reach! Call your vet right away if your pet ingests it!
With this award I am supposed to list 10 things that make me happy:
