Maple 2023 Birthday update

Posted on by Timberidge

Boy! A year sure went by quickly! It’s hard to believe these amazing pups are already celebrating their first birthdays. Birthday updates are our absolute favorites, and I hope you enjoy reading about this crew as much as we do.

Desie (aka Pinkie)

Happy first birthday to our Desie! We can’t even begin to describe how lucky we are to have this gentle, calm, loving, patient, hilarious, sensitive, intelligent, sweet pup in our family.
 
Her favorite activities include bringing you a tennis ball to throw over and over again, chewing (and decimating) her elk antlers, flipping on her back for endless belly rubs, going for a ride with her head sticking out the window, sniffing out scents with incredible skill, and being with her humans every chance she gets.
 
She and our eight-year-old have become the best of friends, with Desie providing love and comfort during illness or big feelings. Desie takes her job very seriously of picking up her small human at school – as pickup time approaches Desie will make sure her mom is on the ball and will pull her to the car!
 
We love this sweet pup so much and are so grateful that she is a part of our family!

Phoebe (aka Gingie)

Phoebe is the most wonderful companion. She is caring and smart. She loves everyone in her house (even her feline housemates who are finally coming around). Phoebe loves going on walks, playing soccer in the backyard with her favorite humans, and enjoying a snuggle whenever she can. She starts everyday waking up the boys so they can get to school on time and greets them with hugs when they get home. Her favorite toy is her purple monkey zippypaws (a combination of stuffed squeaky toy and rope tug). Phoebe also loves running and chasing all manner of ball whether it be tennis or one of the dryer balls she sneaks from the laundry basket. Phoebe may be tiny (24.5 pounds) but her personality is huge and our home is better for her being a part of it. 
 
Phoebe really is terrific. Thank you so much for allowing us to bring her to our home.

Dexter (aka Sunny)

Dexter is 30lbs. He loves to run and play tug of war. We laugh at watching him “play with” (chomp at) lightning bugs at night and stare up at the sky. We had a great job celebrating him at work today (Hopewell Animal Hospital)!

Dug (aka Lucky)

Dug from just a puppy had the calmest temperament. He really amazed everyone especially our veterinarian. He loves to cuddle and play fetch with his sister Shelby any chance he gets. He is such a good boy. We feel so “lucky” (his name when we met him) that he chose us. He steals everyone’s heart as soon as they meet him.

Simba (aka Hip Hip)

Simba weighs about 23lbs. He loves to cuddle on the couch and chase balls. He naps in the silliest ways that make us all laugh!

Poppy (aka Cider)

Poppy has been such a blessing to our family. She is 40 pounds and well behaved for a puppy. She is crate trained (thanks to your early crate training as puppies!) and loves her crate. She loves taking walks and does very well on the leash. She loves being around people and other dogs especially my parent’s puppy from Lykeable Farms born early July 2023. I have middle school aged kids so Poppy loves riding in the car with me to and from all of their activities and social engagements. Poppy is very friendly and playful. We are so thankful she is part of our family.
