It's been two years since I wrote a birthday post for Pepper, and now she's 15! That's getting up there for spaniels!
Earlier this year, she wasn't doing too well, and we thought she may not make it to this birthday. She pulled through, and although she has gotten quite skinny, she seems to feel okay these days.
She's such a sweet dog, and she's going to get some extra treats today to celebrate!

It seems like such a short time ago that you brought her home. I remember so well noticing the heart shaped marking on her side, and then picking her up, and having her lick my face like crazy. Happy Birthday Pepper! Give her a carrot for me. Love, Aunt Toots

Sweet Pepper! I remember with your Mom told me that you were getting her. She is a cutie pie! Dogs give such unconditional love and acceptance. Happy 15th Birthday, Pepper! :-)

So glad Pepper is still here!
Our sister kitties lived to be 14 and 16 (it is no surprise that our high strung kitty passed first in my opinion).
Isn't it hard when they are getting older and you know they won't be with you much longer? I read an article by James Herriot who owned many dogs and cats through the years and he said that was the hardest part of being an animal lover.
