Yesiree today is my birthday! I am now ten years old. I am older than Far Guy if you count in dog years.
Here is my birthday photograph!
I am doing great for being ten. I have some arthritis especially in my front left shoulder and one of my hips. I take a special pill everyday to help.
I wake someone up every morning when I have to go out…a nose in the face usually wakes one of them up. Then I come in and wake the other one up…so they are all awake. They watch the morning news half asleep…sometimes we all take another nap. Then it is time for breakfast…I can usually get a bit of peanut butter toast from Far Guy and a sliver of cheese from Far Side….then it is time to get the mail. After mail we play ball and most days go for a long walk. I play ball off and on throughout the day and then we might go for a ride…at 5 to 5:30 PM someone should be cooking cause I am getting hungry. I keep them company in the kitchen by dropping my ball so they can kick it for me. I get a treat after supper IF I have finished all my food. Then later in the evening IF I whine I can usually get another treat out of one of them. Sometimes they forget and they each give me a treat…those are really good days!
I am rarely left all alone. I cry howl carry on like I am dying whimper loudly. Most days I go along in the car…unless it is too hot.
Here are some great photos of me!

Spring of 2005, Far Guy is teaching me how to “drop it” in his hand. We worked on that a really long time…I finally got it and will drop a ball in some ones hand…BUT I will try to fool them …I would like them to try and grab the ball out of my mouth. It is not allowed but I still try.
Here I am in the daisies! Summer 2014
Here I am stalking a ball…waiting for it to be thrown. October 2014
Did you know I am a singer? Well I am! I am probably singing Happy Birthday to me!
Happy Birthday Chance! Hope you enjoy your special day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a special boy you are and just so handsome! You have a great family there! Happy Birthday Chance!

Happy Birthday to Chance! Love that dog, and enjoyed the puppy pic. My puppy howls when I play the piano....do you think I should worry about that???
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Chance! You are fluffed and clean for your birthday:) Sounds like you have your Far Family well trained! You might suggest to Far Side that a topic for a Wistful Wednesday would be lots of puppy pictures of you:)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Chance! Enjoy your day -- I'm sure you'll get some special treats!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Chance! I'm singing, can you hear me?
ReplyDeleteI hope that you get TWO treats tonight after supper.
Happy Birthday Chance, you beautiful boy!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Chance. You were an adorable puppy and you are still handsome...and a wonderful companion for the Far Folks.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! The big 1-0, eh? My, you were a cute puppy. I didn't hear any mention of a birthday cake. Maybe they are going to surprise you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Chance ! You and our Miggs are so much alike we don't leave her alone much at all either as she howls and serenades the neighborhood to lol which right now it is 5pm and Miggs is bugging me that it is our supper time to lol . Have a good day !

ReplyDeleteHappy Happy birthday dear Chance. wishing you an ice cream cone to yourself or some bacon!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Chance. I'd say you're lucky be with Far Side and Far Guy
ReplyDeleteI really like the picture of you stalking the ball, Chance. Someone needs a treat for taking such a great photo. I am sure your birthday celebration has been great - - - but it sounds like everyday is a celebration for you!
ReplyDeleteYou look great for a 10 year-old, Chance. Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteWell happy birthday Chance! Tess would like you to know that her birthday is tomorrow and that she will be 8 years old, and that she thinks you are cute.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Chance!!!!
ReplyDeleteAwww.. such a cute puppy! No wonder you are so handsome!!! You had a good start!
Happy Birthday Chance, You are looking so good at 10 years old. Barney is a couple of years ahead of you and his walking has improved a lot since taking the calcium tablets. He is slow at getting up but was worse when he couldn't get up without a few tries. He is doing the steps well again. I am glad you got to go on a grand tour of the country. I know dogs like you like to see the world while riding in a vehicle I hope you can stay clean for awhile so you don't have to go get a new hair cut again.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY, Chance! I adore that last photo! I could just hear you sing!!!
