Happy Birthday Kona Hope!

THIS GIRL IS TEN YEARS OLD TODAY!

It was a beautiful day so she was able to bask in the sunshine- one of her favorite things to do.

That's like SEVENTY in dog years.

For fun, here are the itty bitty baby pictures of Kona from (almost) ten years ago.  They were taken by the breeder, and can be found in my Kona Hope scrapbook.

I. Can't. Even.  SO CUTE.

Almost every year on Kona's birthday we have had a birthday party for her that always includes DQ Ice Cream cake.  She doesn't get any, but it is a great excuse for us to get some.

Kona was an "only child" for 3 years.

And then her world was invaded by a little one.

And then that one got bigger and another little one arrived.

Now they are both big and Kona has a white face.

Kona now lives with G-ma and Pa full time, and has for most of the past year.  We are all very lucky that she gets so much love and care from them, and we can still see her often.

Callie recently wrote about Kona for an assignment at school.

There you go "CYOOT" Kona.  Happy Birthday!
