Four Going On Four Months

So, my little boy that I could swear just flew in a couple months ago turned 4 years old today.

Sometimes he looks it

But most of the time, not so much

He spends a lot of time looking deranged actually

But Fergus kinda likes it, though it does confuse him

Sometimes Traveler is stalky

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingkoolie/13904605354" title="Traveler by Lindsey, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3793/13904605354_6347d7498b.jpg" width="500" height="293" alt="Traveler"></a>

Fergus also likes that, mainly because he's not stalky

Sometimes Traveler flies

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingkoolie/13905308363" title="IMG_5091 by Lindsey, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2871/13905308363_fdf489b411.jpg" width="347" height="500" alt="IMG_5091"></a>

Though Fergus steals his toys sometimes

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingkoolie/13905619505" title="Fergus by Lindsey, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7391/13905619505_aaf0568b2a.jpg" width="500" height="363" alt="Fergus"></a>

And tries to make his ears fit in

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingkoolie/13903756844" title="Fergus by Lindsey, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7323/13903756844_8bfef31b5b.jpg" width="500" height="354" alt="Fergus"></a>

*more*

But when that happens Traveler just goes to his special, happy (creepy) place and all is well

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingkoolie/13902728944" title="Traveler by Lindsey, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7207/13902728944_de7574f67c.jpg" width="500" height="320" alt="Traveler"></a>

He gets to chase toys there all day long

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingkoolie/13904787713" title="Traveler by Lindsey, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7110/13904787713_a79494aa16.jpg" width="500" height="269" alt="Traveler"></a>

But sometimes Fergus shows up looking dopey

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingkoolie/13903514045" title="Fergus by Lindsey, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5269/13903514045_a09d768228.jpg" width="500" height="314" alt="Fergus"></a>

Which causes Traveler to go a little....crazy

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingkoolie/13902321755" title="Traveler by Lindsey, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7317/13902321755_64f0bc637b.jpg" width="500" height="309" alt="Traveler"></a>

But mostly he's a happy dog

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingkoolie/13906066804" title="Traveler by Lindsey, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3813/13906066804_36a53b1d33.jpg" width="500" height="354" alt="Traveler"></a>

Even if he has this doofy new little brother around

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingkoolie/13903595523" title="Fergus by Lindsey, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7142/13903595523_df4468d533.jpg" width="500" height="337" alt="Fergus"></a>

Luckily he can't do the stalk and run yet

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingkoolie/13905608215" title="Traveler by Lindsey, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7101/13905608215_71a1902a9b.jpg" width="500" height="256" alt="Traveler"></a>

But even with all of Traveler's gifts Fergus sometimes manages to steal his toy.

Which makes Traveler freeze and wait

<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingkoolie/13904048975" title="Traveler by Lindsey, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7460/13904048975_22cb3e0872.jpg" width="500" height="352" alt="Traveler"></a>

But, Traveler does think a new baby brother wasn't the worst gift in the world. He has his uses.

Happy Birthday my favorite, crazy, merley boy! Life without you was way too dull and I don't know how I managed!

I think Traveller is my dream dog. Maybe a bit too crazy, but that's what makes him so special!

I just adore Traveler so much, he has so much personality. I can't fathom how he is 4, but it seems like he's just getting cooler with age. Happy Birthday to the best woe face maker ever.

Awwww happy birthday Trav! What a handsome boy! Fergus is a looker too

Happy birthday, Traveller!

Happy birthday Trav!!!! Hard to believe you're FOUR!!!!!!!!

He's so adorable with his new "little" brother, haha. I hope he likes his hairy little brother-for-a-weekend that much

My dream dog too! Even if his special is in the "Don't eat the paste" category sometimes.

I really can't believe it either. He's just the best dog I could have hoped for.

He is going to be beyond disgusted. Good thing his opinion doesn't mean anything! Because I can't wait to meet the little guy!

I...what?! LOL!!

His stage name is Bitey Ballerina

His is a solo act.

Too many.....accidents.

Happy birthday, Traveller!

Also, Ferguson. Hilarious!

:rofl1: Too true

Happy Birthday Traveler!!!

Happy Birthday Trav! I seriously can't believe he's four, that's just....no. Unpossible.

Love the captions and the comparison between Traveler and Fergus :rofl1: Also, these photos

Wow. Incredible!! Happy birthday, gorgeous dude.
