Oh handsome Blake!! You know, I VERY strongly suspect you are right, and that your family cannot begin to imagine living without you! It didn't take any words for you to tell your people that where you wanted to be was with them! Actions speak louder than words, don't they Blake? Perhaps that is why it is easier to understand our pets' clear messages at times than other people . Your home and yard looks beautiful, the perfect setting for such a distinguished and handsome boy as you. Blakunen von Marathon, I have no doubt that the girls must simply swoon as you pass by, those strong long shepherd legs and that rich tri-colored coat make you such a striking fellow .

Despite all your sophisticated heritage and looks though, you don't ask for much in life. To be with your family and get some treats and affection here and there, that is all you require for total bliss. I am sure you have all that and more from your adoring family. I hope you have an especially awesome day today Blake, with LOTS of yummy treats, tummy rubs, and family fun to celebrate your day in the spotlight. Congratulations on being our most handsome and charismatic Dog of the Day!
