MY DOG’S BIRTHDAY

By Wednesday, November 27, 2019 21 No tags Permalink

Yesterday was my dog’s birthday and I was excited all day!…

In the Boys formative years I would make a big production on their special bark-day. But after a while, a mere pat on the head, a hug, or some extra snuggle time seemed to suffice just fine.

Harley is my ” ❤️dog.” I’ve wanted a dog my entire life and from the first day I laid eyes on him, we’ve been inseparable.

He’s my first, not my last (obviously) but definitely my “everything”! #thankyoubarrywhite

Eleven – yes I said eleven – years ago, Harley made a lifetime dream come true. I FINALLY had my very own real live (no batteries required) dog.

A dog I –

  • researched
  • sort after
  • chose for myself, all by myself. 

In the 4015 days we’ve been together, I have never regretted this decision once. #truestories

As he ages, on occasion, I have horrible moments where I can’t catch my breath because I think about his age and I am frightened beyond repair.

I know first hand the devastation with losing a pet, I cannot loose Harley, he must live forever. So far he’s spry, frisky and continues to pass his physicals like a toddler pup.

So for this eleventh birthday – I decided if he can continue to defy the odds, this day warranted something special.

TAKING IT TO THE OFFICE –

There are a million ways to celebrate your pet’s birthday. We celebrated Harley’s special day at work with his office mates…

At 10:30am we all assembled with cake and he had a bowl of double Doodle sweetness (Starbucks Puppuccino sprinkled with treat crumbs)…

It was so Doodle*licious, we had to hold his ears back as he licked the bowl clean…

I work with an incredible crew. They understand and accept my passion for my Doods as well as my job. They know I am pet-centric and they indulge me all the way.

MY DOG’S BIRTHDAY –

Hear their melodic sound as they croon a birthday song for my Harley-Darley…

    How to celebrate a dog’s birthday? This question is often of interest to owners of four-legged pets. Undoubtedly, with the appearance of a furry nibbler in the house, each of us understands that he used to live an incomplete life and can no longer imagine life without a little fluffy “robber”. Therefore, the birthday of the dog for the owner of the four-legged is no less significant event in life than all other holidays. But your beloved dog will not be able to say what gift he would like to receive and how he would like to celebrate his birthday. Therefore, you yourself will have to think about how to please your faithful friend and celebrate the dog’s birthday.
