Sometimes, it's hard to remember that only one year ago, this fella had major surgery on his back and was recovering with lots of pain pills and other drugs.
Well, this is a picture taken yesterday of Kobe playing in the snow, at age 10. In fact, I've always put his birthday as 2/1 - - so tomorrow it will be a whole decade with this dog!
He's an amazing guy, and I enjoy each moment with him, still.
So I guess it's time to pull out some good treats and sing (and howl) the Happy Birthday song.
To my favorite dog - always a puppy, even if he is turning a little whiter these days! 70 in dog years is a pretty darn good life!
Today: I'm thankful that Kobe has regained his ability to run, jump, and play - and that he had so much fun in the snow yesterday!
