Jager's first Birthday!!

Jager turned 1 today.  We made him a "cake" of hamburger and "frosted" it with mashed potatoes! 

Here he is in the kitchen just wondering what in the world all the fuss is about. 

 OH!  Cruel... we are making him just wait.  (Notice Roscoe in the back by the door.  He appears to be sulking but I think he just has to go potty....  He was not too thrilled with the festivities for Jager!

 Just like a 1 year old!  He can't keep his food on the plate.  He liked all the "frosting" off first, then enjoyed the main course! 

All in all, a wonderful New Year's Eve and a very happy birthday!  What a good boy!

Jager's First Birthday is Coming

Jager turns ONE next Friday.  December 31st is his birthday.  He is a beautiful boy and has even tried hunting a couple of times.  Didn't do bad, but he has some paws to fill. My husband still misses Beau and his amazing talent.  We hope Jager will live up to his bloodline and produce results.

I, on the other hand, adore him as is.  I know he's supposed to be a working dog. I know he belongs to my husband.  BUT.... He's so darn sweet.  He is big, beautiful, and so well behaved.  The basset boys could learn many lessons from his obedience.  He lives to please (and eat).  The bassets live to eat, sleep, and play but on their terms, when and how they want. 

We will be having a birthday party for Jager, complete with "cake" (doggie-version) and singing.  If I can stop being lazy, I'll even try to post some new pictures.
