So Everyone Is Having a Baby and Here Is Mine:

(Just kidding I know it's not the same thing but I love him as much).

This?

New shades, old dog.

Happy Birthday Hansel!

Look at this little rascal! Hansel is 11 whole years old. I love his giant ears and paws that had yet to be grown into. Pictures from his first year, scanned, thanks to Lacy. I really need one of these handy scanner things. Anyway, thanks mom and dad for taking such good care of Hansel.. give him a burger and a cupcake for me.

Update: Hansel got an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins, cheeseburgers, toys (wrapped up in paper so he could rip it open of course) a birthday hat, a long walk and even a ride in the car.

My mom: "He got to come to the store with me but, you know he waited in the car because I didn't want him to see the cake".

Me: "Wait, did you just say you didn't want the dog to see the cake you bought?"

My mom: "Well yeah, I mean it's his birthday. I didn't want him to get all excited and then have to wait for it, I wanted it to be a surprise".

Hansel sure is a lucky boy.

Sleepy Dog Baby

Hansel is so sweet to cuddle with and the little man turns 11 this coming Thursday. He has always loved to sleep in the bed like a person, head on pillow, under the covers. I love me some of this sweet sleepy dog. He's gotten even better in his old age.
