A Best Friend's Birthday

On Thursday, our furry friend and companion, Bailey, turn a whopping 13 years old! And, although he's 13 (91 in dog years...) he still has the heart of a puppy. He's been a great dog and friend throughout the many years we've enjoyed together, and I know that having him by my side has made many a hard time much easier for me. He's moving a little slower these days (except for when the UPS guy shows up), but he still seems to have enough energy to enjoy a long car ride, or a walk around the block, or chase his toys in the yard. Perhaps this weekend we'll head to the beach where he loves to swim and frolick with the other furry beasts. Here are a few pictures that I dug up from years gone by... Happy Birthday Buddy!




In earlier years for a family Christmas picture


On The Maine Coast

Hanging out in Boston with Jim


Getting some love from his buddy Murphy



Sooner or later, we all have to wear "the cone"


At Dog Beach in San Diego

...and of course, always chasing tail!

Possibly the biggest bone he's ever seen!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHUNK MONKEY!!!
