And today I’m turning eleven years old! Happy birthday to me! It seems like this number sneaked up on me, but I really don’t feel a day over six or seven. Nelson keeps me young by getting me to run around in the yard with him.
As you know, we all have fancy party hats from The Sand Dollar Dog Company now. I was the first one to order my own custom made party hat last year and I am still loving it! As always, we took my hat and myself out for a birthday photo shoot. This year we went to Wayzata and took a few shots on the shores of Lake Minnetonka.
Mom grew up in Wayzata and she has a lot of memories from there. We did our shoot at the beach area. It was really busy, but not off to the sides of the beach, so we were able to get some cute photos of me.
This one is my favorite. There is a walkway all around the marina. We stopped along the circle and took this shot of me. What do you think, does purple girl look like she is eleven years old?
Even though Mom’s surgeon removed all restrictions on her collarbone last week, she still is rather careful with it. Since it is not very comfortable to have any pressure on the area, carrying a bag on her shoulder isn’t really working well. We wanted to walk more and take more photos but it was too hard to carry the stuff on her left shoulder, it just isn’t the same. So, this is our last photo for my eleven years old birthday shoot.
Now it is time to see what I will get for breakfast, hopefully some eggs today, and later we will get to have the treats I’ve chosen for my party. Birthdays are so much fun! I may post a few bonus photos on our Facebook page today, we will see if I have time or if I am too busy celebrating.

Happy Birthday, Bailie! We can’t wait to see pictures from your pawty!
Thank You. I’m looking forward to a fun day with my party and lots of good food and snacks.
your hat is super stylish… happy happy barkday… 11 is two time the number one…
Double the one, double the fun. That may be my advice to myself for this year! Thank you, boys.
Bailie what a lovely 11 year old you are too. Well done on the selection of your lovely Barkday Hat.
Happy 11th. Gosh I’m sorry Mom’s shoulder is still giving her ouchies. I hope and purr with some more time it will be more normal.
Hugs Cecilia
She is doing pretty much everything but some things are still not perfect. The surgeon said no restrictions but the bone will be fusing for around six months. Overall, it is doing fantastic and we can celebrate my birthday just fine.
You are one sexy eleven year old. Happy Birthday to my good friend.
Thank you. Mom says I don’t act my age but it is a good thing.
Happy Birthday beautiful Bailie!!! You do look most happy around the marina.
It was a great day to do some photos with my mom.
Happy birthday!!
Thank you.

Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches all around and a hug to mom. ♥
Thank you for singing to me 🙂 I’m hoping the sun comes out and we can have some more fun here.
Happy Birthday Bailie. We hope the rainstorms and thunder have stopped. We loved all the photos! Good work! It is super hot here this week — Mom and I went for a walk super duper early. When we got up she said, ” the gbgv hounds can get up super early — we can too! Let’s get out there!” have a Happy Birthday!
You better be careful! Our mom gets ridiculous about getting up early sometimes. She is a morning person, so she likes to be up and at it. We could all keep sleeping but we are used to the routine. In the hot months, it is nice being out before it all heats up.
Bailie, love that hat! I think you look more like three instead of eleven! Your mom must feed you from the fountain of youth!
I want to see what delicacies you picked for your birthday bash!
I feel like five, Mom says I’m still pretty young most of the time and that is a good thing.
You sure look happy Bailie, and we don’t blame you, what a beautiful day for a photo shoot. We sure hope it clears up soon for you on your birthday!!

PeeEss from our Mama to your Mom…Due to the owner’s time constraints, Sand Dollar Dog Company is closing They have a bunch of their inventory on sale(40% off), including hats, ties, bow ties and bandanas of course.
I had a good time wandering around and doing some photos with my mom. We got that sad news in our inbox today about the Sand Dollar Dog Company. Thank dog we all have our special, made to order party hats! They have such nice things it is a shame they are closing down.
Those are very beautiful photos for your birthday celebration. You look like it must be really warm out. Hopw the rest of your day is Grand!
It was pretty warm but there was a slight breeze by the lake at least.
Happy Barkday Bailie !
Thank you.
Happy birthday, Bailie. You wear your hat so very well.

Thank you. I love my party hat.
I wish you many happy returns of the day!
Thank you.
Happy Barkday, Bailie! We wish you a day filled with all good things and can’t wait to see your paw-ty table treats! fMany happy returns, sweet girl. You look mahvelous on the shoreline!
Thank you. I had a fun party but my actual birthday was raining. We still got lots of treats.
Happy Belated! Looks like a great day! We were busy celebrating Roary’s birthday last week.
We had to celebrate a day early since it rains here every day right now. I don’t mind, as the treats are just as good early as on my special day. Happy birthday belated to Roary!
Happy belated Birthday Bailie!!! Purple girl looks fab in her hat and does NOT look 11. Now to check out your facebook page.
Mom says I seem more like a five. I’m in good shape for my age.
