Three (ish)


I'm terrible at calculating age on my dogs. I always had to do the math for Emily and I got it wrong all the time. To be fair I also have trouble remembering how old I am and frequently get it wrong by up to 5 years in either direction. I'm 43. I think.


When it came time to pick a birthday for Eddie I went the easy route. I picked February 14 for Emily because it was easy to remember. It basically worked out for Ed, too, so I let him share it. Why give me one more thing to screw up.


Which makes today his 3rd birthday. Sort of.


You can see how thrilled he was to be photographed for the occasion. As a matter of fact everything I've given him today has been met with disdain and heavy sighs. With the dog years calculations you'd think he'd be out of the teen years by now.


Thanks for choosing me, dog. I know it's never easy but I think we can both agree it's worth it.

  1. Happy Birthday, Eddie! My Max was born in April, but they didn't know the exact date, so I gave him my Grandmother's birthday :-)
