HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOUGLAS!
Doug is officially 16 years old on Sunday. It looks to be a busy day for us. I am posting now so as not to miss the big event!!!!
While this IS last years video, I don’t have a need to reinvent the wheel because as I recall it was really difficult to get a song to fit and upload… it was originally the Charlie Brown dance number, but I was such an amateur… and I’ve grown to love this vid … so off we go!!!!
So on to the TToT which is dedicated to 16 year old Douglas
2. One day he’s circling the drain…next he’s running in the yard
6. He also looks great in black and white
7. In a pinch he can be a designated driver
10. cute as a button, did I mention cute as a button?
11. He’s a great thinker. Contemplative even.
12. He knows how to kick back and relax
14. He respects and honors other cultures
15. He has great taste in friends
16. He’s my best bud Happy Birthday, Buddy.
Your hosts
While I’m aware Douglas has many fine qualities, I have a real question about his respect for, and ability to get along with, other cultures.
For example, how well does he get along with Bears?
Asked the Bear. Looking a little askance.
But blessings and Bear hugs to Douglas on his 16th birthday!

He loves bears… I suspect he thinks they would be delicious! Thank you, Mr. Bear! I love bears too!

Loving Bears and thinking they would be delicious, raises again some cultural questions. (Actually those two positions are exact opposites.)
How would Doug like to be an Asian dog, in a country where eating dogs is considered culturally appropriate? I suggest that would be culturally challenging to Doug.
So many thing to consider, Ivy. So many things.

It was a good day. We made a trip to his meme’s house. A rare occasion now. He wont be making it again…as it takes xanax and its pretty long drive. But she wanted to see him and he loves her. It was a good day of turkey legs and lots of new walking terrain.

You must be treating him so right, for him to be 16 years old. I loved the video. I wasn’t blogging this time a year ago, so I missed seeing the video when it was first shared. You have so many cute photos of him.
