Happy Gotcha Day & Birthday, Mikey!
So yesterday, was Mikey's 1 year gotcha day. :) Time has gone by so fast, but I won't bore you with that whole speech. All I can say is that, my life has improved tremendously since this dog has come into my life. I can't explain it without being corny though, so bare with me. :o I have loved previous dogs, don't get me wrong, I loved all my pets. But never have I loved one like I love Mikey. It's just different. He's so different. Our bond is different. While, sometimes, actually most of the time (;)) he is annoying as poop, he is the best dog I have ever owned. He is everything I have ever wanted in a dog - goofy, hyper, active, playful, fun, but mostly lovable. He is beyond loyal, he is a VELCRO dog. He even tells us he loves us, literally.:D I don't really want to remember life before Mikey or without Mikey. His gotcha day is the 27th, 2 days before his really birthday.
Now onto the next topic, tomorrow the 29th, is Mike's 3rd birthday. My baby is growing up. He still has the energy of a puppy, and I don't think that is something that he will ever loose. He might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he has taught me one lesson I will never ever forget. Extreme curiosity and loving of everything, especially the simple things. He is curious about everything, and when I SAY EVERYTHING I mean it. He is curious about animals, cars, people, etc. He will put himself in danger to satisfy his curiosity. He sniffs everything, all the time. He listens when you speak to him or when he hears a strange noise. He investigates everything. He will not chase an animal to kill, he will chase it to PLAY. He loves playing, and he always wants a bunny or squirrel to play with him. He's always doing his play bow at them and barking happily, grinning like a dope. Of course, they run away, but it just shows he loves everything and everyone. I have never heard him growl out of aggression, actually I don't think it's possible. He hates being alone too. He is the best dog I could have asked for at the time. He will be 3, I hope he lives till he's 100 :)
Here are two pictures from today, he found a fallen hornet's (?) nest and was sniffing it for about 10 minutes. It shows his amused/curious face and nature:
