12.15.09 - Huck Finn's 5th Birthday

Huckleberry Elias Finn, it is your birthday today. Your fifth one at that.

I know you don't know what that means, but today you'll feel extra loved. We'll slip treats to you throughout the day and take you for a long car ride through the neighborhood. I'll even let you bark at people out the window. :)

Thank you for loving us and filling our boring every day lives with ridiculous amounts of happiness. Thank you for turning me into a crazy dog lover. Thank you for letting me put you in silly little outfits, and for being as snuggly as you are. I know this year has been rough on the family... We haven't spent as much time with you as you deserve, and in return, you let your anger out on the kitchen floor. Let's make a pact for '10- We walk you 4 times a week, and in return, there are no surprise puddles for my bare feet to find first thing in the morning. =(

Huckleberry Finn, you're one of a kind, and I can't imagine you with any other family, nor us with any other dog. You're our boy and we love you. Let's make the next 5 years even better, ok?
