Birthday 2012

Hello everyone, 

I celebrated my birthday last week and we took a trip to Shasta Lake, California  for my birthday's getaway. Here are some of the pictures from the trip with links provided for each place we have visited.

Mt. Shasta

Exploring the cave at Lake Shasta Caverns

We took the boat then a bus ride to get to the cave, this is the view from the bus ride

Inside the cave 

A lot of stairs to get there but worth it!

The Backyard of the cabin is this cool river

Happy 6TH Birthday Luke!

My darling dog, LUKE, is six years old today!

We adopted him from Petco in Jamacha, California on October 2006.

He greeted us with his paw, showing off  some tricks, drinking from a fountain, etc. 

He was a smiling-happy little three months old puppy, 

living with his twin brother, 

who was adopted by another family on the same day we adopted him..

YAY!!

He is a very smart, mellow, funny, playful and gentle dog.
He is very weird with his food,
Loves his rope and ball,
Knows a lot of tricks,
Good at fetching (specialized in food and toys only lol),
Easy to train, he is actually very smart,
Eager to please the human,
Kinda lazy
;)

First Day at Our House

Long Live King Luke!

Happy Birthday little darling Luke,

you are truly a blessing for us.

A great companion,

A wonderful friend,

A beautiful, gentle, loving soul that everyone loves!

Eating one of his favorite dessert, Jello.

He only eat it on special occasion like today lol

"Can I eat the chicken jerky now..please?"

Enjoy your special day with special treats!

God bless you my darling little doggie
