What a handsome face to wake up to. You sure sound like a great dog and you certainly deserve to be the DOTD! CONGRATS!

**LHCamry** · 02-18-2006, 07:09 AM

Gilbert...What a handsome little fellow you are. I know that your owner has to love you very much and take real good care of you for your age.
I am so happy to hear that you are 18 years old. That gives us hope that our babies will live a long life too. Congratulations on DOTD. You deserve it.
Have a wonderful Day.
A Dog Lover

Good Morning Gilbert!!! Oh, what a precious sight you are, sweetheart! Nothing tugs at my heartstrings more than the sight of a handsome, happy, much loved, senior, scruffy pup The water works are flowing, reading your human's love filled tribute to her/his best bud! How very, very blessed you both have been these past 18 years, to know such devoted friendship, loyalty and unconditional love! And you know Gilbert, is sounds like you still have a lot of loving (and herding!) to do You've made my day, Gilbert!!! Now I hope you and your proud, proud person have a great day of your own, reveling in your well earned day of celebrity, perhaps a ride around town in our van with that spiffy, red vest on! Gilbert, we are honored and privileged to bestow upon you the coveted title of Dog of the Day, though I think your human would more aptly crown you Dog of a Lifetime! Wear your crown proudly, precious pupper! Please, have your human give you lots and lots of hugs and kisses, back rubbies and some special treats for me, sweet, precious Gilbert!

Love, Sandra

I had to make a reply to you from work without waiting another minute sweetheart. Unfortunately, Daisy and Delilah, couldn't come to work with me but I'll share your pic and bio when I get home. Eighteen years old? What a handsome young man you are doll face and obviously the best companion your loving human could ever have asked for. I'm in love with you dear Gilbert!! My girls will love you too! Congratulations on your big day and I hope the fun never ends for you today sweetie. Continued happiness to you and your loving human always!!

Gilbert:
I have a smile from ear to ear reading about you. You looks could have fooled me, as you don't look your age at all! It sounds like you're going healthy & strong too.
The air in "Wales" must be fantastic to be keeping you in such tip top shape.
I would love to see you in your "red" coat matching your human.....'sounds like you are well cared for and loved a great deal.

We hope you have many more happy and fun years, herding the critters around and helping on the farm.
Congrat's.
Jasmine's "Mom"

How heartwarming to learn Gilbert, that you have had a long and wonderful life doing all of the things that you love.

My hat is off to your human - a dog does not live that long without having had the best of everything showered upon him. But most of all - it is the love that tells the tale.

**Coondoglover** · 02-18-2006, 02:43 PM

Hello, Gilbert! You sure look a lot younger than 18 years old! I bet it's from all that great exercise you get on the farm rounding up the animals. I hope you enjoy your special day. Congrats on DOTD! Hugs and kisses to you!

**Jax** · 02-18-2006, 02:57 PM

Oh, sweet Gilbert-what a handsome "older man" you are. How lucky both you and your best mate are to have each other.

Have your mate give you a gentle kiss from me and my clan!
