She even helped my family and I set up the Christmas tree. Malibu was laying underneath the tree when I caught her red-handed messing with the Christmas decorations.

Malibu’s birthday was on Nov. 1, and in 2022 she turned two. We celebrated with birthday hats and shrimp.

Here she is playing in the leaves this past fall. She was enjoying the cool weather.

She loves riding in the boat and looking at all of the bugs, This is Malibu at the Lake of the Ozarks.
