LOL, love the card. :laughing::laughing:
Looked like a fun pawty for all. :D

What an awesome birthday story Hazel.

Love the picture of Brier with the kong in mid air (Post 6, 1st picture). Kewl! :cool:

Looks like it was an awesome pawty! :thumbs up

[SIZE="6"][COLOR="Indigo"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][I]Happy belated Birthday sweet Ridge. :cloud9:[/I][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]

Thx, D-O-G! :D And Ridge thanks you, too!

Edwina, Gramma always gets the dogs birthday cards...some are goofier than others! :laughing:

[B][I][SIZE="4"][COLOR="DarkOrange"]Happy belated Birthday Lady In Waiting Ridge!![/COLOR][/SIZE][/I][/B]

Pic 1 of post 7 is a great shot of Ridge very happy-puppyish, not so much her usual reserved-lady look :D

Only that's Cass. :o She's the :angel: twin--Ridge is (dare I say it in her b-day thread) the :evil: twin! Ridge never looks that happy-puppyish except in rare brief moments right before she's about to attack Belle's scruff! :laughing:

Oh, and did you notice that the Sheriff went green for Ridge's party? Rolled in the newly cut grass just for the occasion! :laughing: What a goof!! :lovestruck:

Happy belated Birthday Lady in Waiting Ridge!!

your pack sure do like having a party :cloud9: and kong throws :lovestruck:
I think it's cool that Cole went [COLOR="YellowGreen"][B][I]green[/I][/B][/COLOR] for the occasion :cloud9:

beautiful pictures and love the card!!

Just noticed Cole in post 1 picture 3 going [COLOR="DarkGreen"]green[/COLOR]. Too funny. :D

They all get goofy and roll when hubby mows. I think they get high on grass. :o

:laugh:

[SIZE="7"][COLOR="Blue"]HAPPY BIRTHDAY LADY (in waiting!) RIDGE!!![/COLOR][/SIZE] :dog: :pawprint: :party:

Haze, I just loves your pics and stories!! It always makes me laugh :D
You have such a beautiful pack of fur babies :lovestruck: :cloud9:
I can't really say I have a favorite pic because I love them all! But Princess Lil Belle once again making the yard safe for Setters, that's my favorite story. I'd have to say the others are lucky to have her there to keep them all safe! :laughing::laughing: :D

They [I]all [/I]live to patrol, Rgeurts. Finding a Peril and Vanquishing it is just an added bonus! :dog:

:D

So far this summer they've prevented countless maimings by Dangerous Butterflies, thwarted Dastardly Plots by Villainous Bunnies and managed to drive off Marauding Garter Snakes. Been a pretty successful season for them, all in all... :thumbs up

:o

:laughing:

Don't know about sending them on up alone, but one of these days I'd sure like to rent a bus and take a tour up there! :D
