Today, January 25, is my precious Giant Schnauzer’s 3rd birthday! My goodness, it seems like just yesterday we were going to pick her up in Louisiana!

Ziva and I the day we picked her up. Look how small she was! Oh, it is hard to believe she was ever that tiny! haha — Ziva and I the day I adopted her. Look how small she was! Oh, it is hard to believe she was ever that tiny! haha

For Ziva’s third birthday, we celebrated with Gigi’s Cupcakes and new toys from Pet Smart. Yes…I bought my dog a Gigi’s cupcake…she has a sweet tooth *wink

Watch the hilarious video below to see Ziva enjoying her pretty pink Gigi’s cupcake :)

Words cannot explain how much I love this dog. She is my cuddle buddy on cold nights...my everyday running partner...my best friend..I do not know where I would be without this giant bundle of fur in my life. Happy Birthday, Ziva, sweetheart! *crazy doggy mom moment* ;) haha — Words cannot explain how much I love this dog.
