Celebrating Jeffie | Throwback Thursday


Jeffie at 9 weeks old

Since I've been taking a trip down memory lane lately, I thought I should definitely join the Throwback Thursday blog hop today.  However, when I looked to link up, it seems that blog hop is no longer happening!   Timing is everything and mine has been off lately.

I'd originally planned to link up with the Barks and Bytes hop and announce my April For Love of a Dog giveaway.  Just didn't get that blog post written or the rafflecopter set up.   Dog gone it!  Like I said, timing is everything.

So, I'm sticking to memory lane.  Take a short walk with me and enjoy my birthday boy, Jeffie.

Jeffie's first toy of his very own.

My sweet Jeffie is celebrating his 8th birthday this week and the time has gone by in the blink of an eye.

Jeffie's first visit to my studio.
Jeffie loved tennis balls!
You can read about how Jeffie was a Cush Dog, how we adopted him and how he and I enjoyed many sunrises together here.  You'll also finds lots more Jeffie puppy photos there, too. 

Last year, Jeffie inspired a special birthday limerick from the great and power poet, Oz!  Change the birthday years and it still rings true.


Happy Birthday to Jeffie the Retriever mix!
He turned seven this month, not six.
Though he hates change of any kind,
being one year older he doesn't mind
as he knows an old dog can still learn new tricks.
 
Jeffie is all smiles about his birthday this year.

Be sure to stop by on Monday to enter to win a piece of For Love of a Dog jewelry!


Talking Dogs is the official blog of For Love of a Dog Jewelry.

I'm joining the Barks and Bytes blog hop today hosted by 2 Brown Dawgs and Heart Like a Dog  Grab the badge and join in the fun!

  2. The one downside to digital is it is easier to lose photographs. We ended up losing some of Bailey's baby photographs and I miss going back and seeing those early stages.

  7. Oh I can't stand the fuzziness!! What a cutie Jeffie is and such an adorable puppy. I think it's good to visit memory lane now and again. My mom had a photo of Sampson as a puppy and just looking at it and it all came flooding back.

    Thanks for joining the blog hop!!

  11. Happy Birthday, Jeffie! Oh, he was so adorable. He looked just like a golden retriever when he was a puppy (he's a mix, right?).
    That Throwback Thursday hop has been kind of hit or miss lately, on some weeks but not others I think.
