Ten Years!

06 Feb

Bongo wading in a puddle

It’s my ten year Gotcha Day!

Gonna have a party.

Think I’ll play in a puddle.

Bongo dragging a frisbee in the snow.

Or maybe I’ll go play in the snow.

Bongo carrying a frisbee on a snowy day.

Bongo on the trail in the snow

What!!!???

No more snow?

It’s all gone?

Bongo eating a treat

Think I’ll celebrate with some treats then.

Hey person, could you put a candle on that treat?

    Bongo I didn’t realise you were a ‘senior’ dog – you’re always acting like a spritely puppy! Happy Gotcha Day buddy – I hope it’s filled with treats and loves πŸΆπŸ’™

    You look like you’re really having so much fun. I can’t wait ’til our Ginn himself turns 10 (he’s still a half year old puppy, nine and a half more years to go!). I think I’ll let him play on puddles and snow, too. I was also thinking of letting him ride on a sleigh since we really haven’t done that yet (although I’m thinking we’ll be doing it sooner). Best regards to you and your person!
