Happy Birthday Blackie

Blackie is now officially 13 years old. It's hard to believe but 13 years ago we moved to the farm with 2 squirelly pups. Life was so simple back then. And they're was no slowing my 2 pups down. Now you when let Blackie out with out a leash, he's so old he can't go anywhere. He's put on a few pounds since the days of running 45 miles per hour. Now he just goes from the various beds and the couch. On nice days he likes to lay down in the yard with Anna and soak up the sun. He has developed a kidney disease but a special diet and pills seem to be helping alot with that. He loves the constant companionship of the boys. And his favorite place in the whole world is my waterbed. Him and Anna fight over it sometimes, or they just leave no room for Dan & I.
