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
