Well around here it is anyway!! Lanny's 2nd Birthday!! Whoo Hoo!! Some pictures from over the past 2 years--some have been on Facebook or on this blog, and others haven't.
 |
| January 31, 2013--he had been here for 1 week. Getting to know Ducky. |
 |
| One of my favorites--didn't matter that he was not quite 3 months old--he was bound and determined to keep up with Duffy!! |
 |
| He always wanted to be with Duffy and still does. |
 |
| Let's play, Duffy!! |
 |
| Is Duffy praying or ignoring??!! Lanny loved to be held--still does, even though he's kind of big for a lap dog, but that doesn't stop him!! |
 |
| What a cutie!! February 2013 |

 |
| I love this one--watching Mom getting supper. |
 |
| First time in Olds, first time seeing a large body of running water! May 2013 |
 |
| First time being able to run in a large open area without fences!! Yippee!! |
 |
| Graduating to larger sticks--first time on the farm June 2013 |
 |
| And then suddenly, Lanny was the same size as Duffy!! July 2013 |
 |
| August 2013--waiting for Mom to come out and pick cherries. |
 |
| October 2013--a big boy now!! |
 |
| Hmmm--could jump the fence into the garden, but jumping out? "So I'll just sit here until Mom rescues me!!" |

| Thanksgiving Day October 13, 2014 |
 |
| Didn't think there would be room for both of them on the porch--but apparently there is!! |
 |
| And another configuration--sorry the pictures are through the screen door, but that's the only way to get them!! |
 |
| Handsome and happy on the farm!!
Lanny is good natured, eager to please, wants to play and play and play and run and run and run. Life is a party as far as Lanny is concerned. He's never met a stick he didn't like!! And in that great cosmic plan that seems to unfold even if we don't understand it a lot of the time, he came into our lives, I inherited my grandparents' farm, and voila, Lanny became the consummate farm dog. He has farm smarts, he's machinery savvy, he checks in all the time, and he can be trusted in a way Duffy can never be trusted out on the farm. He knows the friends and doesn't bark, but let a stranger even stop on the highway or turn around in the driveway, and Lanny will let us know.
Many thanks to Ray Lavelle of Erte Collies for entrusting this big bundle of love to us!!
Happy, Happy Birthday Lanny my big tri boy!! Love you always!!♥♥

Cool photos Dianne. I love them all. I especially love the last one and the one of him as a puppy keeping up with Duffy in the shoveled snow pathway with his paw up. They grow up fast don't they?
Happy Birthday Lanny!!!! Love the baby pictures , he was so damn cute! I really think he is a flatcoat in disguise Dianne, he is just like Lync, play play play, run run run, never barks except to alert and loves sticks! maybe they are brothers from another mother hahaha
Seriously though, he is a super sweet boy, was so good while I groomed him that day, I am glad he found his way into your life :)
Happy barkday Lanny. Hope you had a pawsome day.
Happy Happy Birthday to Lanny! Can't believe he's grown up so fast! I love the photos. You can see how happy he is.
Thanks for the birthday wishes and the comments!! Yep, Jolene, brothers from another mother!! LOL!!
Well, I'm late to this party, but it's a lovely post Dianne. I'm very happy that Lanny has a home where he is so obviously loved.
What a wonderful birthday celebration you were having there. We loved seeing all the fun and goodies you got for your big day. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful rest of your day.
