It's the BIG 8 - 0!

Barkday 15!

Happy Barkday to me...Happy Barkday to me...I want some more dog treats...but I have to go pee.

I made it! I made it to my 15th Barkday - that's about 80 in DOG years! I'm showing my age, too. I sleep most of the time, unless there's food to be had. I can't hear unless there's something said about food. I can't see, unless there's food around. I can't smell...yep, you got it, unless there's food! Some days I can't even be bothered to get out of bed, unless... well, you know the story! It's not a bad life. I'm quite happy, as long as there's food! I have a good family who love me, and FEED me!

For my Barkday I got a double helping of minced chicken and beef, some arthritis pills and a great big dose of cortisone! I'm happy now! I even did not mind posing in my Santa hat for this picture.

As Christmas is near, I'm going to the beach for the sailing club parties this weekend - why, you ask? So that I can see Sandy Claws!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy birthday, Dear Charlie-owl,
Happy birthday to you-owl!

Sorry about Buddy howling at the end of every line, but he's a hound and when hounds get excited, they howl. He's very excited for you. Not just your age, but all that food you mentioned.

Hope you had a terrific birthday.

Happy Barkday to one of our bestest friends. You sure look swell with your Santa Hat on.

We see that this time you are not having a week long bash like last year.

That is pawsomely old.

I'm not sure how old I am but I think I'm nearer half your age than anything else. Half of 15 I mean, not half of 80.

Happy belated Barkday. You sure are old. I can not think that far. I turned 1yrs this month and think that was long.

Sorry we're a bit late, but happy 15th barkday to you, Charlie! We saw a note on TopCatRules about this special day, so we thought we'd come over and say hi. You've done very to reach this venerable age, and we think that you can officially do whatever you like! Sleeping and eating - sounds like you're having a great time with your family!
