Aeon @ 1 year old


-Happy 1st Birthday to Aeon-
Born January 14, 2013




I got this adorable photo frame because I think it's just the cutest, and it has my favorite phrase on it (well almost) live laugh love bark.  Too cute!  I used one of our recent favorite photos that I've taken of Aeon in it as a special gift to give to Hubby for Christmas.

Wow, Aeon is a year old already, and now weighs a little over 80 pounds!  He has really gotten a lovely coat over the past few months, and it feels soft and powdery to the touch.  He seems to really enjoy having his bath, usually at least a once a week thing.  He acts quite excited when we remove his collar and tell him he's getting a bath.  I'm really liking a new shampoo we have been using on him, it smells like coconut!  He is so soft and he smells nice too!

We've had more company than usual at our home lately, with the holidays and all, and he has been really enjoying all the extra attention!  He loves everybody and gets so excited when he sees them.  We are still working on his jumping up on people to greet them, he is getting better at not doing it, but he still tries to sometimes.  He really seems to like his daily routine, and acts as if he doesn't like any changes to it.  He lets you know it's time for his wants/needs and is persistent in his own way with getting your attention.  Whether it's ringing the bell or climbing half way into your lap, he will get your attention to go out, or to get him food or treats.  Aeon sure loves getting those treats, especially his favorite Greenies and special doggy cookies.

We recently started leaving Aeon out of his crate when we leave him home alone.  We've been very pleased so far that he has been a very good boy each time, and we feel he has really appreciated the freedom.  He is happy to just be where ever we are at home, often laying somewhere between the two of us.  Aeon is our loyal, loving companion and he adds great joy to our lives.  He brings a smile to our faces from the first kiss he gives in the morning, till the last one at night!

-A look back over the first year of life with Aeon-



Meeting our little guy for the first time!  
He was 4 weeks old and would go home with us at 7 weeks, on March 1st.


April, 2013
All smiles!


August, 2013
Going bye-bye in the car!

When we met him he was known as Mr. Orange.  
The breeder uses different colored ribbons to tell the puppies apart.  
I was in love the second I laid eyes on him, and even more so once I cuddled him!



He's big enough to cuddle me now!

From a sweet little fur-ball full of cuteness...

A favorite puppy photo.  I love that sweet face!



Also a more recent favorite.   I love that sweet face too!

The cute face when waiting for a treat.



This is the cute face I still see when he is waiting for a treat.

Too funny!



It was funny the first time I captured it, even more so the second time!  And it looks like he is grinning in both.  Rabbit?  German Shepard?  It looks as if he still hasn't grown into those big ears!

All comfy and ready for a nap.  


Yep, about to take a nap.
It truly is a dog's life!

Handsome little fella.



Aeon as always the handsome fella looking like he is striking a pose for me to capture a photo of him.  From puppy, to year old pup.  He truly is a very handsome boy.

Our sweet little guy.




Such a beautiful dog.  He is a real sweetheart.



And he's quite the character too!



Loving our precious boy!...
