Hi Doyle! Happy Dog of the Day to you, and to you doggie bro Festas, too!
What a handsome, energy and personality packed, life loving pup you are, Doyle! I'm a Lab mom, and had I only read your story, minus all of the Schnauzer references, I would swear you were a Retriever (cue loves retrieving, hiking, Frisbee fetching, digging into the pillow...) What a perfect match you are for your active, outdoors' loving, hiking/camping pack of people, and you for them! And that 8 mile trek, mighty impressive! You sure are living the good life, Doyle, and deservedly so...You're amazing!
Thanks for the BIG smiles, sweetheart! It was a pleasure getting to know you, and oh, your pics are simply precious!!!
Enjoy your much deserved day of honor, celebrating to the max with your people and Festas; kicking up your paws, retrieving to your heart's content, and just simply being spoiled rotten! (Hopefully it will be a sneeze free day!)
Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you, adorable Doyle, and to Festas too!
