Today is my birthday, I am thirteen years old today. In eight weeks I will have lived with Far Side and Far Guy for 13 years.
I am getting old, feeling my age a bit but I still go for walks and I can play ball as long as I don’t jump in the air…Far Side just rolls the ball for me now a days. I take pills that make my arthritis better and I can go up and down the stairs most days. I need help to get in and out of the vehicle. I still like to go for rides.
Far Side says I am a little spoiled. Now who really knows for sure. I have plenty of food and special treats and a warm place to sleep and good company.

This was back when I was so lonely at night that Far Side laid on the couch all night with one hand inside the laundry basket where I slept.

ReplyDeleteBob, The Writer, and I wish you a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Chance!!! Bob says to tell you upon your recommendation she is going to try spaghetti squash because all your other favorite treats are her favorite treats, too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Chance from all the girls here in AR! You're as handsome as ever and bright-eyed and bushy-tailed too! Have a great day we hope you get lots of your favorite treats but not too many as our systems can't take it like they used to!

ReplyDeleteYou are such a gorgeous dog.
I hope you had a great day.
Happy Birthday Chance, love the puppy pictures especially!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures by your "mum." Happy Birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Chance! You were cute as a pup and have turned into a handsome mature dog. I was never cute and I didn't mature very well, either. Hang in there with the arthritis. It's the pits, isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteI missed your birthday Chance. Happy Belated to you. We have a young border collie in our neighborhood and he gets to be walked by our place. You sure are a handsome guy. I like your photo parade ever since you were a young pup. Our Barney was already 6 or 7 months old when we got him so never saw him as pup. I do know that border collies thing that everyday is their birthday, so celebrate again today.
