Ben's Second Birthday ::: I've Been Staring at this Face...

...For almost two years.

On this day, two years ago, a Sprollie puppy was born. It's hard to believe that Ben's reached this age already... was he not a puppy yesterday?

Ben celebrated his big day with a pair of friendly faces - Jack the Sprollie...

And Teddy the Border Collie.

Sadly for Ben, there was no present. I'm on a photographer's budget now, eg. I spend all of my money on film and photographic paper. Sorry, Ben, I know you'll understand.

So, without further ado, here come the boys!

Ben's quick on his feet as he outruns a pursuing Jack. I love how his tail is on Jack's back - cute moment!

People are always telling me that they want to ruffle Ben's ears - Teddy is no exception.

Jack prances while Teddy... uh... what on earth is he doing anyway?

Teddy takes his role as the ball's bodyguard very seriously.

The two younger boys (Ben's face: you give me this for my birthday?! Teddy's ears: Undecided).

Ben does not appreciate kisses. Not from any man.

Teddy can only look on as Sprollies: The Ultimate Battle commences.

I have a feeling this image should be *CENSORED*.

It's not working, Teddy, stop it.

Poor Ben. I'm sorry - two annoying dogs whom you play with every day wasn't much of present was it?

The birthday man himself.

Happy Birthday, Ben!
