Yesterday was Speck’s 17th birthday. When he turned 16, we doubted he’s see #17 but he did and I seriously doubt he’ll see #18. When I was looking back through the blog for good picture of him, I came across this one.
That picture is about 11 years old and there’s that blue blanket I showed the other day, before it was threadbare. We took that blanket everywhere . . if Speck went, that blanket went.
Here he was yesterday.
He was confused because I kept trying to get him to come back and look at me so I could get a picture. He’d come towards me then to back towards the door. He kept thinking I had a treat for him and I didn’t and he didn’t know what was going on.
I could never get him to look at me. I was doing good to get a picture of him being still. This is how most of my pictures of him are.
Yes, those are my toes!
He’s been a good dog, even if I’ve suffered a few dog bites. I still remember the day we went and got him. There were three puppies and we picked him . . we made a good choice!

Happy Birthday Speck! My sister had a cat that lived until the age of 19! She was the meanest cat except toward my sister! My sister was heartbroken when she had to have Kitty put down. Kitty had outlasted several serious boyfriends and career moves!
