Marley Turns 3!

I cannot believe that Marley is already 3 years old! She is the legal drinking age in dog years. My little girl is growing up! It seems like just yesterday we were driving to Cheraw to meet her on Christmas Eve.

Funny side story about that trip... The man who was selling Marley gave us directions to his place and told us to just look for the house with the red door once we got on his street. We stopped at the first house we saw with a red door and started knocking. The people invited us in and told us to sit down. We started asking about the puppies, and they looked at us like we were crazy. Turns out we were at the wrong house! It was the house with the red door that was farther down the street that we were supposed to be at. I still can't believe those people invited us randoms into their house without knowing what in the heck we were there for! Cheraw is obviously a very trusting little town...good thing we weren't armed and dangerous.

When we finally got to the correct house and saw her precious little face we were in love at first sight! She was so cute I couldn't even stand it. We immediately decided she was the pup for us.

She has been the best dog I have ever had. When she was a little thing we took her everywhere! If we were going somewhere Marley was coming with us. Ryan and I were still in college at the time so she was a regular at all of our friend's parties. If we weren't allowed to take Marley where we were going we would cancel our plans...we didn't want to leave her alone!

Thankfully, we didn't spoil her too bad. She grew out of a lot of her spoiled habits when she had her puppies. Marley was the best little momma. Ryan and I were nervous wrecks when she was in labor! It is amazing how dogs just have the natural instinct to do all the crazy stuff they do during the birthing/raising puppies process. It just blew my mind! However, I'm going to skip over all those details because most of them are pretty yuck!

I'm pretty much just obsessed with good ol' Marley. Ryan is my #1 love and Marley comes in at an extremely close #2 love. Our little family wouldn't be the same without her!

Here are some pictures of the birthday girl!

Is this not the cutest thing you have ever seen?

Marley at one of the many parties she attended. Thankfully, she didn't turn out to be too much of a party girl!


You can't help but love her!


Marley loves to play dress up!
