Happy Birthday Baby!

I remember the day he was born, like it was yesterday. I saw him hours after he came into the world, but I had no idea how important he would become in my life.

I never had an inkling that I would end up bottle feeding this little guy, losing sleep with and over him or loving him as much as I do. I had no idea  how important his place in my heart would become, or the depths of our friendship. 

Over the years he taught me about loyalty, friendship and love. He joined my family at a time when I needed him the most.He is a true blessing in my life. No matter what I do, where I go or what I say, how much of a mess I am, he remains 100% devoted to me.

My best friend ever, the puppy of my dreams. Every quality I would want in a dog, he offers. He is gentle, strong, sweet and funny. He is goofy yet wise, he likes to play, he likes to cuddle, he likes to be near me. He listens well with only basic training, he adores my son. He offers enough of a bark (his size factors in too) to be a security system, no one sneaks in on this guy, nor would want to, but I never really worry with him around. He is so gentle and sweet that I always say I would be better off to leave my son with Fru instead of a sitter. I would worry less.

Happy Birthday to my dog, my pal, my dearest friend. I can't believe he is 7 now. I hope I am blessed with *at least* another 7 years of his love and companionship.
