The Life of Riley

Happy Birthday to Me

Tomorrow I will be 16 years old. I am still ever on Mommy's mind. Yesterday Mom was golfing and I wanted to let her know that I was thinking of her too so I dropped a huge golden oak leaf right at her feet. Of course, she smiled and picked it up to save it. Most of mom's friends know about our oak leaf tradition so they understand when she picks one up. Also, Mom retired a couple of months ago. One of her friends from work created a really pretty program for the party, and on it she wrote about Mom's Celtic Zodiak symbol. Guess what it is? An oak leaf!!! Mommy was surprised to see that.....yet, not. :-)

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today I am 14 years old! Yeah for me! It doesn't seem possible that it has been 5 years since I've been at the Bridge. One of mommy's first thoughts this morning was of me, and my first thought was of her. I watched down and saw Skye and Quinn playing; that Quinn... she is keeping Skye young, just like I used to, hee hee. She's the boss, just like me.

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. Mommy thanks you too!

Four years...

I haven't been on Dogster a lot lately, cuz Mommy has been busy. However...recently we "celebrated" the fourth year of my going to the Bridge. No one was actually celebrating that....just acknowledging it. Crazy. Tonight, Mommy looked at all the songs on my page...and wondered how the time flew? I am a lucky pup though.....mom and dad think of me all the time! And Quinn....she is a continual reminder of me.

Two days ago, my human sister had to send her furson Ralph to the Bridge. I am here waiting for him with open paws! We need to go make a pizza to make him feel welcome.

Thank you all for being my friends. What would I do without you?
