We Won A Contest!

Tibby and I had a fun day today.  Plus we won a contest! And we were interviewed for TV.

We went to a walk for animals and entered the Owner/Dog look a like contest. I never, ever thought we would win, even though I think I look like Tibby. We never win contests! Yes, I am proud to look like a dog - a cute dog like Tibby! It was pouring rain. So not a great day weather wise. Tibby was so good the entire time. There were 100's of dogs everywhere. She didn't lunge or pull or even bark. She sniffed a few rear ends, but that was about it. The funniest part was when I turned around and found her trying to sniff a Great Dane's butt. It was so funny! She was too short - I wish I had a picture of it. Too funny.  Tibby also rode on a bus - twice, but that adventure will be in a different post.

This is what we won.  Lots of stuff and $55 in gift cards!

Tibby thinks winning is yummy!

Look Who's Turning One - Plus Contest Winner!

A puppy is a wonder

A precious gift to have

It's fun to hold and cuddle them

It's fun to watch them grow

To dress them up & show them off

To everyone you know
Cute as a bug, so fun to hug!
I loved you as a puppy, but now you are my (best) friend.

I can't believe that Tibby is a year old.  Wow!  When I look back on our time together (all 8 months), it is amazing how far we have come together.  Like the title of this blog say, "The fabulous fun and terrifying trials of raising a Tibetan Terrier".  So true.  There have been super high highs and soul crushing lows.  I haven't shared everything on the blog - I try to keep it positive.  Who wants to keep track of the bad things- right?
I will just say that Tibby never disappoints me, but humans to regularly.
Here are a few of the Highlights:
