Ralph's 14th Birthday!

Wow...I can't believe I am 14 today! Thanks to everyone who sent me gifts and rosettes - those made my birthday so special!

I move a lot slower now, but I still keep the same schedule. I never miss a meal (and eat just as fast as ever) and I make sure I get my walk twice a day. :) It takes a little longer to get to the park, but my Mom and Dad are patient with me. Nellie moves slow too, so at least my best buddy doesn't leave me behind. Sometimes I move like a really old man, but I have my moments of spunk, they just don't last as long as they used to.

My family tells me how much they love me, and how they can't believe it has been 14 years! It is good to be loved as much as I am.

I can't wait for tonight - I get my birthday roast beef sandwich from Arby's! I was told I have to share, though...oh well!

Ralph's 13th Birthday!

I have had a great 13th birthday! I got extra biscuits and 2 extra long walks today, and my whole family has given me lots of love. Nellie even let me finish her breakfast this morning - and I always like to get extra breakfast! My Mom and Dad can hardly believe that I am 13 - they talked a lot about me when I was a puppy today, and how time goes by so fast. When they got me, I was so tiny that I couldn't even get up the steps, so they would carry me. :)

And thank you to all my Dogster friends who sent me so many gifts today - that made me feel really special!

Ralph's Birthday! 12 years old!

February 11th was my 12th birthday! My mom and dad can hardly believe it - it feels like just yesterday when they brought me home. I got my favorite birthday treat - a roast beef sandwich from Arby's! (No bun, of course - I avoid carbs! :)) I had to share with Nellie, which was okay, but mom did have to protect her while she had her half, because I have been known to steal food.

Oh well - it was a great birthday! My parents think I look pretty great for a 12 year old boy. I still like to play, though I get tired faster than I used to.

P.S. - One more thing! Mom changed my weight range on my Dogster page! I have lost weight, and now weigh 24 lbs. instead of 26 lbs., so that is good news!
