woodrat 399 Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Time really flies, doesn't it? It's been 8 years (and 9.5 weeks) since I pulled this scraggly scrappy little pup out of his crate at the airport (all hopes of a fairy tale beginning soon dashed when he immediately ignored me in favor of the blowing leaves around my feet). His puppy days were sweet but fleeting, for even at a young age his soul felt a thousand years old. He is, without a doubt, the absolute best dog I have had or will ever have. He is the one I lean on when I myself need strength, impossibly calm in every situation. He is a benevolent leader of dogs - he neither submits nor dominates, but all respect him. His energy was crucial in helping me raise Rune to be the dog he is today. His face is getting whiter, but all signs of aging stop right about there. So Happy Birthday to Tamarack and his sister Willow (and any others from that litter that may be out there), may you have another 8 more in store - at least!

TaylorBrittany 28 Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 His puppy days were sweet but fleeting, for even at a young age his soul felt a thousand years old. Couldn't agree more that their souls feel a thousand years old. Happy Birthday! Hope he partied hard with treats and toys 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
