Happy 2nd Birthday, Bristol

I'm not one of "those" fur parents that throws parties for an animal's birthday ... but I will swing by the grocery store and buy her a Yog-hund (grain free frozen dog treat; essentially like Frosty Paws -- but because Sassy Pants has a grain allergy ... well, I like to keep her healthy). I will also likely purchase one for the cat, whom decides the grass is always greener on the other side.

Explain to me how we went from this:

 

to this:

 

Loves the snuggle monster.
Whom by the way, has improved 120% with her reactivity. I don't worry anymore about encountering puppy dogs on our walks. And I don't lose it when my neighbor's Corgi scoots over to say hello, despite their "CHI-CH!! NOOOOO!" cries.

Anyhow.
Today she is 2. I hope the year between 2 and 3 is much smoother than the year between 1 and 2.
