Happy Birthday to our Furangel, Oreo...

Today would have been Oreo's 11th birthday!

We still dearly miss him everyday.

I believe he knew he was sick and had a hand in bringing Chip to us.
Unfortunately, we lost him to cancer in March of 2013.

 

So, for today's blog we will be sharing photos of Oreo throughout his life here on earth with us.

Nala, Boo and Oreo racing around the property in Dec. of 2003, when they were young.

Oreo in the snow.

This photo was once used as a Christmas card.

Spring of 2004, Nala, Oreo and Boo, just pups then.

The 3 musketeers, Oreo, Nala and Boo.

Oreo enjoying the blowing snow.

Under the Cherry tree, Nala, Timber and Oreo.

This was also another Christmas card photo.

This was the winter we had great big snow piles and they loved them.

We are hoping for that this winter, so Chip and Ariel can experience it.

Oreo sleeping upside down, cooling his belly off.

The boys, napping on the sofa together.

Timber and Oreo.

As you can see now the gang has grown to 4 Sibes.

Mommy with Nala and her boy, Oreo.

The boys resting out in the rain.  Silly boys, Timber and Oreo.

I always called them the Get-A-Long Gang. (some of you might remember the cartoon of the Get-A-Long Gang)

There will never be such a great pack like them.

The boys again.

Nala, Timber and Oreo enjoying a spring day.

Keepin' cool.

One winter mommy tried to see if Oreo would pull mommy on the inner tube down the front hill.  No such luck, he sat on my lap instead.

What kind of sled dog is he?

And here you can see where they were trying to get on and ride with mommy.

The gang out in the snow.

At least the boys listen to me, the girls on the other hand do their own thing.

The boys watching the back yard.

Out playin' in the snow!

Oreo and Nala sleeping on mommy and daddy's bed.

The boys waiting for dinner together.

 

 

The gang.

The boys sittin' side by side.

How sweet they get along so well.

3's a company.

I guess mommy doesn't need a blanket, when she's got 3 huskies to keep her warm.

 

My garden statue, Oreo.

Mommy and the boys.

The boys and Boo waiting for breakfast.

The Sibes watch the yard from a high spot.

 

Oreo liked the top of the dog house and Boo likes to sleep inside of it.

And guess who now likes to get on top of the doghouse?

Was your guess right? Chip!

My singing quartet.

I love when they sing.

Oreo, Timber and Nala comforting mommy on day she didn't feel good.

Oreo and Nala curled up in their husky balls on the sofa.

I like how the boys are together and the girls of course are up front.

I love how he used the pill to rest his head on.

How many huskies can fit on a snow pile?

Gotta to love how Oreo stuck his tongue out for the picture.

He was a mamma's boy.

Oreo lounging on the sofa, what a life.

So, glad we had this photo done when we did.

Oreo enjoying his sister, Nala's 12th birthday.

Mommy and Oreo enjoying an afternoon of skiing together.

This photo was taken the weekend before the cancer hit Oreo so hard and fast.

It's my favorite photo.

 

To: Oreo

I hope you are having a wonderful birthday today in heaven.

We love you forever and always,

Mommy , Daddy, Nala, Boo, Timber, Ariel and your puppy brother, Chip.

 

(Please note: this is only a tad of the photos I have of Oreo. I shared the ones where he was mostly with his family.  He was also a show dog from puppyhood to 3years old, he shared many birthdays with us too, playgroup dates and so many other important dates like our wedding day.)

Hope you enjoyed them!
