Chester's First Birthday

Today is a very special day in our world. It is Chester's FIRST birthday! I cannot believe that my little puppy is one already. It seems like just yesterday we saw his baby photos online and applied for him from MN Pug Rescue. These photos were sent to me by his foster mom, Ginny. She is also Bubba's mom and Martha too. Bubba is one of Chester's brothers and Martha is his mom.

Chester at 1 week. He looks like a little bear.

Chester at 2 weeks. I love this photo because it looks just like him!

This morning when I got Chester up we discovered that his dad had left him a little birthday note. It was very sweet. I read it to him and then we went for our usual morning walk. When we got back, the note had fallen on the floor. Chester ran around the house with it in his mouth before I could get it back.

"I think my dad left me this note to eat."

Tonight we are having a little celebration with him. I made him pupcakes and we'll open presents. I will definitely post photos from his little party tomorrow. I'm excited!
