Today was the best day! It was Phoebe's one-year anniversary with us and also her 2-year birthday. I can't believe that exactly one year ago I rescued her through Bichons and Buddies, a wonderful local rescue that caters to Bichons and small dogs.
Phoebe has been a dream come true and has brought so much happiness into my life. She had an absolute ball last night playing with her best-doggie-friend Angie at our New Year's party. So we wanted to continue the fun today at the Santa Monica Beach strand. As I'm reminded very often, "It's all about the dog" and today it really was!
Phoebe was very popular with all the little kids who wanted to touch her "afro" head.
It was a gorgeous mid 70's Southern California day!
Phoebe even got to socialize with some of her "cousins!" She enjoys meeting all kinds of dogs but always seems to really love interacting with the ones that are her size and look like her!
We tried to get them to pose but it they were all going in different directions!
So we just let them sniff and have fun.
After a gorgeous 2-hour walk, we rested for a bit and I could tell that Phoebe was so happy. She is such a treasure and I am so grateful to have her in my life.
I hope you all had wonderful New Year's Eve and Day like we did!
Big cheers to ring in the new year!
Have a lovely week ahead!

Happy New Year to you and Phoebe! She looks like she had a fun day at the beach. I love that last photo!
Holly, Happy New Year to you and Phoebe. ♥ It was a quiet one for us.
Oh, the mid 70's. I lived in San Diego back in the late 80's. I've never been the same after living in paradise with perfect weather.♥ I know things have changed in all this time but I carry good memories of my two years that I lived there.
For this new year I wish you good health, prosperity and all the love that one can be blessed with.
Hugs,
Steph ♥

Lovely party for Miss Phoebe. Happy birthday sweet pup.
You are so lucky to be in a beautiful climate like CA. All our puppies have coats on when they go outside. BRRRRR it's cold here in Canada.
Happy New Year friends.
