Happy Birthday, Hutch!!!

If you'd told me a year ago I'd have a puppy, I wouldn't have believed you.  In fact, I would have laughed in your face.  Jesse's persistent "no" kept my dreams at bay, and it wasn't until he finally let us go "window shopping" at a petstore last February that I realized perhaps it might actually happen.
This little guy turns one today!

He was sooo tiny when we brought him home...a whopping 3 pounds!

I'd like to think Hutch and I had a connection right from the start...

Growing up is hard work!

And here he is today--showing off his pearly whites for Jesse
