Sweet Sixteen
September 2nd, 2011 
Chuck We just wanted to share Shadow’s 16th Birthday with everyone. She has given us so much pleasure and so many unforgettable moments in our lives. It’s hard to believe Shadow came to us sixteen-years ago as the tiny little two-and-a-half pound, eight-week old fuzz-ball you can see here. She’s still a cutie! Cheryl baked Shadow […]
