Puppy’s 1st Birthday

On 19 October, our dog Koda celebrated his 1st birthday! He has given us so much laughter and snuggles over the past 10 months that he has been a part of our family that we wanted to share some photos of him. He is a very spoiled puppy, especially compared to the local dogs around here who are fed on scraps, he even had a cake, which was a home-made bone-shaped liver cookie, a WHOLE sausage and a squeaky snake for his birthday! We love his so much and thank God for him.
