The munchkins are ONE today!! While puppyhood was filled with overwhelming challenges, anxieties, and limitations, these two were strong and brave, and have so much to celebrate as they enter their adult years! Emma and Reed (perfectly renamed Fergus!) are finally healthy, happy, socialized and so very secure and loved as special members of their amazing forever families. This fostering experience was a huge labor of love, and we all benefitted greatly from each other’s company, affection, encouragement, and support. They filled this summer with a very welcomed happy, curious, playful energy. I loved waking up to excited, wiggling puppies who covered my whole face with kisses as we set positive intentions for the day ahead. And I enjoyed every evening in the backyard, soaking up the sunshine, hunting moths and sticks, and playing in the grass. This quality time was the perfect way to honor my Simon, who truly loved his role as a big foster brother, and I know he watched over our little foster family with happiness and pride. Tonight Emma and Fergus are basking in the afterglow of a great first birthday. They enjoyed treats, toys, songs, hats, and even more love and special attention than they receive every day! I couldn’t be happier for these munchkins and their families, who have so much more to look forward to. Wishing sweet Emma and Fergus the happiest birthday today, and a great big year ahead filled with lots of love! #happybirthday #1stbirthday #puppiesofinstagram #puppylove #adoptdontshop #rescuedogsofinstagram #summer2020 #fosteringsaveslives #fosterdog https://www.instagram.com/p/CLdXLw1j8NV/?igshid=ps8wpdia8uf5
