12 Months of Phoebe

We always joke that Phoebe got a “glow-up” thanks to me coming into her life: new bed, new toys, and especially, and most noticeably, new haircuts.

Inspired by Elisabeth from The Dirigible Plum’s A Year in Pictures, featuring her very photogenic cat, Pickles, I wanted to do the same with Phoebe.

Phoebe is a fluffy toy golden doodle who loves nothing more than to snuggle up on whoever’s closest, lick whatever part of their body she can get her tongue on, and roll over to enjoy the belly rubs.

When I looked at my camera roll, I found 674 photos of Phoebe—and that’s been edited down! Phoebe’s only been in my life for a year and a half, but she feels like she’s been part of it for way longer. As my dad says, I “finally got the dog I always wanted.” (My childhood dog, Gracie, was the best, but to my dismay, she hated to snuggle.)

So, I present to you: A Year in Pictures aka 12 Months of Phoebe (plus 2 extra photos on either end). I’ll let you be the one to decide if she’s had a glow-up.

    She is adorable and I can understand ALL the pictures of that face and a dog who clearly likes to be the center of attention!

      I die too! And I’ve already gotten some great photos here of her, too! But this post was drafted already, so they didn’t make the cut.

    Golden Doodles are the cutest, fluffiest dogs. Are they well tempered? I enjoyed your pictures! 🙂

      They’re the best tempered! Always happy and gentle, super smart, love people and children, but can be a bit anxious. At least ours is! 😅

    What a cutie! My sister has a Goldendoodle who’s super sweet but still a bit naughty even at a “should known better” age. I think the February photo is my favorite.

      Phoebe’s going on 4, and that describes a bit of her naughtiness well!

    She is so cute! How could she possibly get a glow-up when she started perfect?

    Phoebe is adorable. I love her “glow up” and am a bit jealous of how photogenic she is. Clearly, Phoebe is a star living her best life. Incidentally, I have pet pics in my post today. I try not to bypass the fur-babies!

    So much cuteness in photos! I always like it better when you can see their eyes clearly and not just fluff!

      Agreed! She’s actually due for a grooming appointment next weekend. I can’t wait!
