I'm not sure where the time went. I was just looking over the thread from when I first brought him home, and I remember being so excited at the open book that was this little border collie.
And, well. Things didn't go as I would have wanted with his sport career (or complete lack thereof), and even as we speak we're dealing with daily challenges that are less than ideal.
But you know what? He's still here. Happy and healthy. I love this dog more than I ever have. It doesn't matter what we're doing or what we're not doing. He's always here by my side, cheerful, doing something to make me laugh.
That's what matters. That's why he's the Best Dog.
(I'm wearing this exact hoodie this morning. Clearly I rotate my wardrobe regularly.)
(He's on the same slope in both those pictures - I swear his structure is not that bad LOL)
Here's to six more years and beyond, little buddy. Happy Birthday.
