Today we spent the majority of the day traveling back from Michigan to Ohio. It’s not too long of a trip, but let me tell you – it can be draining.

On the bright side, it is my heeler’s birthday today! Nyx turns four, and we didn’t do anything special for her we still get them gifts as if they are our real children.

Nyx got three new stuffed toys, a pig, a thin no stuffing flamingo, and a Gumby (which is her favorite) and then we got her a new busy toy. Since she is a heeler, she requires a lot of mental stimulation as well as exercise.

I cannot believe that she is four years old already. It feels like just yesterday she was a squishy little baby running after her big sister Luna.

To say they are spoiled, would be a big understatement. But how can we not, look at how cute her little face is in the snow storm from two weeks ago.

She has been the biggest challenge, yet, the biggest reward and I am so proud of her every single day. She truly has been the greatest dog, taking after her sister of course.

Nyx has been the goofiest dog that I have ever seen. Between her crack head hours and the moments that she truly shined with her mysterious attitude.

One moment that lives rent free in my head is the time she got into our roommates caramel M&M’s. Somehow she was able to open his door and not only inhale the rest of the bag, she got it stuck on her head and that’s how I found her. When she breathed in and out, the bag moved with it. I even got it on video.

Life has been just as crazy and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
