Another Birthday!

Today I am 12....so hard to believe, seems like yesterday I was just a pup running with my older collie brother, Raleigh. He taught me so much and was my best friend, he made me a better companion towards all our other family. Mommy remembers the day I caught a bright red cardinal in my mouth. I proudly brought it to her when she called and never hurt even a feather. Mommy said release and I dropped it in her hands. It was in a bit of shock but soon recovered and flew away. Mom gave me a big hug, I could feel how proud she was of me. As a matter of fact, she has always been proud to take me anywhere & everywhere. I love the park, I walk in the water with my longer leash. Little kids would run up to pet me not realizing how tall I was till they got closer but quickly they could see I was very friendly. I have heard visitors ask Mommy, why does she spend money and time on us pets instead of fancy clothes, beautiful furniture or expensive jewelry.......she shakes her head, looks at us, smiles and answers......they are my treasures, they are my life. My best present today was Mommies big HUG......I love you too Mommy, .....I love you too.

My Birthday wish is........

SNOW! I want to run and play in some SNOW. Is it asking to much for just a few inches after all we only got 2 inches of it so far. Is this going to be the winter that never was? Most of the time it has been in the forties and fifies and mom said a bigger warm up is on the way! Well Saturday is "GROUNDHOG's DAY" and I will be watching to see what his prediction will be, mom wants an early spring but I want SNOW-SNOW-SNOW! Later, Luke

Lovin' this deck!

I am so glad my humans built this deck! OBI and I can see everything from here and we also like chasing each other up and down the steps. I like watching when the deer come, they are such odd creatures and there are so many of them! When the weather warms up Mom will again be spending time with us relaxing on the deck, yeah!!!! Well, maybe one snow storm would be a little fun for OBI & I........Luke
