I brought Widget and Pixel home with my housemate on 19th March 2011. However, today is their birthday, so I thought I'd post a few photos to show how they've changed!
Starting with a photo the breeder sent us:
And a couple of photos of when we first visited them and decided to put a deposit down. (I think we'd decided before we got there to be honest, but meeting them just finalised the decision!)
This is Pixel. She had an odd shaped eye when she was younger as you can see here. However as she grew it evened out with the other one and you can't notice a difference these days.
Widget sitting on my housemates knee. He basically sniffed at us and just slept on/next to us the whole time we were there! It was almost a "yep, you'll do" kind of gesture.

And now for some comparisons!

Notice how it's now sagging from his weight!
