13 Candles

My baby is 13 years old today!  Yes, thirteen! 

Happy Birthday Zeus

We have a very special apple oatmeal birthday cake for tonight, as well as "tulip puffs" (hot dogs and cheddar cheese in a puff pastry) - both of which came from a doggy bakery in Massachusetts.  We'll take pics and post next week, but now it's time for our annual photo recap...

I may be biased, but I think my Zeus-Moose is the most handsome big dog around!

He sure can pull off that "I'm Serious" look...

But he's also the biggest ham...

 

  

And Zeus sure knows how to be a couch potato.  I can't even get mad when he steals my NAP pillow and blanket (which happens at least twice a day).

 

Of course he loves his gig reviewing items for the blog...

And while at times they may annoy him, he truly does love his little brother and sisters.

I adore morning coffee with my big lap-cuddle-dog and he sure does makes my selfies look good!

 

Rides are great, even if it's off to see the V-E-T.  After all, Zeus adores all the girls at the vet's office and he loves making new friends too.

 

He's a great co-pilot on those rides... 

 

My boy sure does love lounging in the driveway... 

Zeus loves life and is quite the happy, big 'ole dog!  Despite all of his health issues, he's always got a smile and wagging tail.



Have I mentioned he's a great winker too (yea, sure, maybe he's supposed to keep one eye open, but...)?

 

  

I snapped this pic for "throwback Thursday" earlier this year.  Look at my little 16 week old puppy there!

Happy Birthday Zeus.  I love you more than words can say and thank you so greatly for all the joy you bring to my life, as well as the life lessons you have taught me.  Here's to 13 candles, and many more!
