Today is Sage’s birthday — and here are some of my favorite photos of her from her first year of life, here at Oak Creek Ranch. She’s learned a lot about ranch life, about confidence, about working and playing hard, about snow and rain and falling leaves. I adore her.

| First meeting — Love at first Sight |
 |
| It was snowing when she arrived here from sunny San Diego. |
 |
| Sage loves weather; nothing slows her down. Of course, once she’s drenched, she likes to come in and warm up by the wood stove. |
 |
| Sage loves her toys. She started with plush toys and her current favorite is a tennis ball. She can dribble and toss the ball just like a soccer player. |
 |
| In the evenings, she’s tired from running around all day. She’s mellow, chewing on a nylabone or sleeping on her bed. |
 |
| Sage has a number of “looks” — this one is to shame me into playing with her. |
 |
| Ranch dog; no doubt about that. She herds the chickens, the goats and tries to herd the horses as well. |
 |
| And here we are, back to winter and she’s growing up to be a beautiful dog. |
She really is a beautiful girl! Dogs make life so much better, in so many ways. And no doubt, she's good company for that gorgeous Lab of yours.
