Time flies when you’re having fun, so it’s no surprise the past two years have been a blur!  It feels like just yesterday that I saw Eko for the first time.

From the beginning, Eko was always a character.  I’ll give you one guess as to which knucklehead he is in this photo

Rhodesian RidgebackThe little squirt was an adventurer from the beginning Pet adventure

I always knew Eko and I would have a lifetime of adventure, but I never imagined that we would travel the country together on the adventure of a lifetime

Eko grew up on the road. A year ago we celebrated his birthday in Memphis

Eko certainly had one heck of a year and I’m so glad that we got to share the journey with all of you.  Thanks for following along with us, we’re looking forward to another exciting year. And remember….

    It seems the old saying is correct, “after awhile a couple starts to look like each other.” For Mr. Echo, this is a tough concept to accept on his birthday.

    Happy Birthday Mr Eko, may you have a barking good time. may the many more years chasing your tail, that you never will catch. Be happy and joyful. Hope Will keeps your doggie jars full of goodies. May the roads Mr Eko and Will travel on their adventures be winding , hilly, and flat, may all the travels are blessed with good times and loving memories. May the beaches, hikes in the woods bring you joy.

    Happy birthday, Mr. Eko! I’m sure there’s no better birthday present than getting to sunbathe in February! I’m sure Atlas is hoping for the same gift on Saturday (though I’m sure he’d settle for double treats too if the weather doesn’t cooperate)!

    Happy Birthday to Mr. Eko – Enjoy your special day big guy! And, thanks’ for sharing their life with us – I look forward to viewing & reading about Eko & Penny!

  71. Happy Birthday Eko!!!! Hope we get to enjoy many more with you! That is one of my favorite quotes too 🙂

  72. Oh, YAY! Happy birthday, buddy! I hear 5 is the new 3. I only have one question – how did that chubby, fluffy puppy grow into such a sleek, sturdy young man?

    Love and birthday licks,
    Cupcake

  73. Happy birthday, Sir Eko! May you reign for a very long time (both your dad and punk sister need you). 🙂

    Happy Birthday Mr. Eko 🙂
    With love from Europe!

    P.S. Hey Will, please share his photo from your wedding again, one true gentleman deserves a suit photo on his 5. Birthday (we love love love those photos)

  77. What a sweet post to honor the pup who will forever be a pup – – – there’s a spot in all of us – in our hearts – that stays forever young. I think having pets remind us of that fact on a daily basis! Eko was a precious puppy and is a handsome adult – and he knows LOVE and shows it…..that’s down to you Will. The two of you taught each other much in this five years including how to add another bundle of fun in the form of Penny to the mix and keep the love flowing! Emily knows what I’m talking about I’m sure!!! Happy Birthday Eko……………..

    Hugs, Pam (and Sammy too!)

  78. Happy Happy Birthday handsome, enjoy your Birthday week!!!

  79. Allison Gray says:

    Happy belated! I’m sure it was splendid.
