What are some of my most favorite special moments?

So I hear our friend Oz the Terrier is holding a very special blog hop as a thank you to one of his recent sponsers. 

He asked that we post a special moment to share with eveyone...something I'm more then happy to do! 

I have had a few of them in my two years of life.

Seeing what Mom called the ocean for the first time. It was so big and kept trying to get at me! It made me nervous that first time...but now I love when we go down for a weekend. Running and playing on the beach is one of my favorite things.

In the fall going out hiking with my Mom and dad for the first time. Dad isn't a big outdoors type. He's a IT computer guy and likes to joke that he's much more at home surrounded by humming machines then humming bugs....so the first time we all went out hiking was pretty special to  me.

...and of course Mom thought the snuggling that happened between me and dad after the hike was pretty special and sweet. 

And then there's this..

This is Mom's pic, and it both warms and breaks her heart. She has so few pictures of her father, and this one of myself and him is very, very special to her. It's been three months since his passing, and she still misses him everyday...and knows she will continue to do so everyday. 

And now...

What's more special then meeting your mom for the first time, and heading off to your forever home!?

Now, don't forget that this is a blog hop!! Go ahead and hop on through to find out more of Blogville's citizen's special moments!
