The Beast’s Berfday
Dear Tahoe,
Four years ago today you came into this world. Three years and 50 weeks ago we met you. Three years and 44 weeks ago we became $900.00 poorer and you came home with us. Since then, we’ve become MUCH poorer thanks to your seasonal doggie allergies and subsequent recurring ear infections. Also due to the MANY items we have had to replace thanks to your incessant need to chew. And to lick. You’re disgusting. And huge. But we love you anyway.
We love you because you have no idea you weigh 112 pounds. You think you’re a lap dog. We love you becuase you are, quite possibly, the world’s sweetest, nicest dog. We love you because you put up with Dylan (although secretly I’m waiting for you to snap and bite his fingers off). We love you because we know when you’ve been naughty because you make your ”Bad Dog” face. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to get a picture of it to share with the internets. Because it makes us laugh every time. Even though we want to kill you for whatever “Bad Dog” thing you’ve done.
With Dylan
With Zach
Happy Birthday, you big, dumb beast. We love you. Even though we may not act like it sometimes. And thank you for giving me a reason to take my ass off the first post.
Love,
Your family

AW, happy birthday to your puppy! Well… not so much a puppy anymore
And 112 lbs? Oh no! Turn his fur lighter, you’ve got our dog… And we are kinda hoping he doesn’t get quite that large. Please?
But on the plus side, when he’s that big and gentle, your kids can use him as a substitute horse. What? Was that only my family? Hey – blankets make great saddles for 3-4 year olds…

Have you read Marley & Me? They are making a movie based on that book but if you get a chance to read it you should. You might find a lot of similarities. Great post!

LOOK AT HOW BIG MY NUMBER IS IN YOUR SIDEBAR! Holy crap. I quite possibly could take over the entire sidebar by just commenting once or twice more…
Happy Birthday big dog.

I can’t type because I am laughing so violently. I am afraid anyone who visits for the first time is going to think…STALKER!
And if they didn’t before after this little display…they do now.

Happy Birthday Tahoe!
That reminds me – does anybody need a garden hose with random holes?

Our black beast (of the same variety) is turning 7 next month. I really love Labs – they are the best with kids!
Happy Birthday you dog you… my Libby is sending over big licks – and a virtual ball to play with!

AWWWWWWW, it’s the boy version of my puppy! (Except mine’s 80lbs and 8 years old. But she’s also a big ol’ chocolate lab who thinks she’s a lap puppy. OOF.)
