my baby is growing up….

My baby is growing up.

(Today she turns two years old!)

And it makes me feel nostalgic.

Nostalgic Lauren = LOTS of photos.

Happy Birthday Marley Dog!
We love you Mar, Marmaduke, Duke, Dooker, Dig…and all your other silly nicknames!  You’ll always be our first baby…even when we have non-fur babies one day.  Promise.

  15. my husband wants a marley dog (ie german shepherd) so badly he could DIE, i think. obviously you love her – do you love that breed in general? was she easy to train, and is she well-behaved? is she good in social situations?
