CONGRATULATIONS ZEPPELIN CHANCE!
Well first let me say I just knew that our captain would be the first to post about you;)
And second I agree with Cincy'sMom, I think you definately deserve a new toy in honor of your special day!
It's so wonderful that your family wanted to keep you even after learning of your deafness. I have a friend who has a deaf dog and they wouldn't give her back to the breeder for anything. They too decided they would work past her handicap:)
I hope you enjoy today and many, many more to come!!!
