HENRY IS TEN!!!

October 31, 2016 | 44 Comments

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HENRY!!!

Henry is 10!

Henry is 10!

It seems like no time has passed since we brought Henry home and he became part of our family. Now, he is TEN YEARS of age!

I purposely omitted the word ‘old.’

Henry is a happy-go-lucky guy who can hold his own when it comes to ‘zoomies’ in the back yard with brother Jack.

Other than his autoimmune issues and allergies, his veterinarian has given Henry a clean bill of health – no age-related problems are evident at this stage.

He isn’t full speed ahead and mischievous as he once was, but he is still quite a character. Perhaps, the secret to his continued youth is his ability to find the perfect balance between play and meditation.

Henry will lay on his bed, with one of his stuffed hippos between his front paws and in his mouth. With eyes closed, he will rock his head gently from side to side and gently caress his hippo. It is hypnotic and calming to watch.

We did not have time to organize a party as we just returned from a family beach holiday. During our time away, our birthday boy enjoyed daily walks in the sand and paddling in the sea. The perfect way to celebrate!

Thank you to Dog’s Best trend for supplying these beautiful scarves for the occasion. Even though the celebration was low-key, the pups were dressed to the nines in their satin party wear.

Dog’s Best trend is a subscription program offering monthly or annual plans to subscribers. Free shipping to U.S. residents.

The designers create an original scarf design every month. Sometimes it is based on a theme or season. Every time beautiful and stylish. Each design is a limited, small-batch production for one month only.

We love that a portion of every subscription is donated to dog rescue groups across the country.

We’re currently supporting the Dumb Friends League.

The Dumb Friends League

For over 100 years, the Dumb Friends League has provided a compassionate voice for those who cannot speak for themselves and is the largest community-based animal welfare organization in the Rocky Mountain region. The League will not turn any animal away, and in the last year alone, 17,903 pets were adopted, reunited or placed. Further, through spaying, neutering, and owner education they have reduced the number of homeless animals entering their shelters by 27%.

We could not agree more, Dog’s Best trend:
Ten is just a number. We don’t stop playing because we get older, we get older because we stop playing!

Since we have added another pup to our pack, we have joined the ‘extra toy club’ with barkbox. Not that it makes much of a difference; Reese thinks all the toys belong to her. It’s a good thing Henry loves the packaging as much as the contents and both boys are happy with treats. And, not just on Halloween!!!

The chocolates are for Henry's Humom!

Thank you barkbox for sending a special ‘Birthday’ celebration hat and treats for the birthday boy.

    Henry looks great! I hope he had a great birthday! The treats and hat look like a lot of fun. Nelly is 9 1/2 years old and I think she is comfortably middle-aged.

    The saying on the card was really touching – I think every birthday with our four legged friends is worth celebrating. The scarf is precious – I love seeing how folks celebrate milestones for our senior dogs. My 13 year old is lying next to me -moments I cherish! XO
