"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole."

Hiya Bees!

I remember when I first joined the hive a few of you asked about the 3rd member of our Ostrich family - Napoleon. :)

Well, here he is, in full glory!

When Mr. Ostrich and I first started dating, we discussed our mutual love for our four legged canine friends. Mr. O had three dogs growing up - a Pomeranian, Chihuahua and Yorkshire Terrier. I, on the other hand, had our beloved Akita puppies for 6 months before Mama Ostrich thought my aunt's home would be a better place. I was so sad.

So when Mr. Ostrich and I finally decided to move into our first apartment together, I knew instantly what his birthday surprise {see how much we love surprises?} would be. A little, spunky Pembroke Welsh Corgi Pup!

Mr. O had been dreaming of a little Corgi pup of his own since he was a little kid. He had a neighbor who had one and was charmed by it's short legs, long body and big dog attitude.  "And when I finally get a Corgi," he would say, "I will name him Napoleon." And so we did. And boy, does he live up to the name! Ridiculously loving, always protecting and too smart for his own good, he is the light of our lives.

And as much as we want Nap in our little beach wedding, it would be too complicated to fly him over and keep an eye on him throughout the zany week. So, we're trying to figure out a way to incorporate him in another way...and thought having a "photo escort card" for him at our table would be sweet.

How about you, fellow bees? Do you have a furry friend in your family? Are they going to guest star at your special day? I can't wait to hear about them :)

xo,

Miss O.
