happy birthday, maya bear!

For my 16th birthday, one of my gifts was a Golden Retriever female puppy. I'm pretty sure she was born the day before me, which means today is her birthday!

Eleven years later, she is just as cute, maybe cuter! We love her so much!

Happy 11th Birthday, Maya!



Here's her in her younger years (hence the non-white face!)





Here she is with her brother when he was 3 months old (November '05)


And my two favorite photos of her, EVER...
