28 years ago today, much to the chagrin of my older sister, I was born. She was hoping for a girl. For people, birthdays are “special days,” and a day to share some extra affection and attention with a loved one. I certainly appreciate the kind words and presents.
Eko on the other hand doesn’t care or know it’s my birthday, and I think his indifference might just be my favorite gift.
“Morning birthday boy, I’m hungry.”
And just because it’s my birthday doesn’t mean we can slack off.
There’s always work to be done
Pets don’t celebrate birthdays and they don’t pay attention to the calendar. It’s a nice reminder that what makes a day special is what we choose to do with it. Eko also reminds me to disregard the date and to always love for love’s sake.
And sure, he didn’t know it was my birthday this morning, but Eko was still happy to go out dancing with me at the park.
Eko’s got some serious moves
Another successful trip around the sun, but there’s more adventure to be won. Thanks Eko for keeping my head screwed on straight. It’s a tough job, and I appreciate the effort!
Happy happy birthday Mister Will! Wooooowoooooo!
Happy Birthday Will! You still have the best gift on earth, so I hope you will have a wonderful day! And to go dancing with a dog is like a small prezzie too :o)
HAPPY B-DAY!! One year wiser, not older…
Happy Birthday! 🙂
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL! 😀 I’m sure Eko will make it extra special….despite the pee breaks…. 😉
Happy, happy, Will! Isn’t it great to have a pup to help with the celebration…even if he doesn’t exactly know what’s being celebrated? My b-day was on a Sat. last month, but did I get to sleep in? Of course not! A certain little white furball made it very very clear that 5am was getting up time.
Ha – my bday was the 2nd – and yeah both Rigs and Muff didn’t know but they gave me all the love and attention they do everyday and that makes every day special – happy birthday!
Ah, we aquarians are a great bunch. Happy Birthday young thing!
Happy Birthday Will.
Happy Birthday Will!

Happy birthday! Maybe Eko will give you extra snuggles or an extra long fun walk?
Happy birthday, Eko’s human!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Will…….I’m sure Eko will ACT like it’s just another day but he knows it’s a special day for you…..expect him to give you a special wink or look or paw on the knee…..he knows….!

Happy birthday Will, and many more to come. Yes, our dogs keep us grounded and teaches, although some of us are quite stubborn, to live in the moment. Wishing you the best always:-)
Happy birthday Will! I’m sure Eko will help to make it extra special:-)
Happy birthday, Will! Love the shot of Eko dancing in the snow. What a handsome jacket for a handsome boy!
Happy birthday, Will! Eko will keep you young at heart for many years to come, that’s for sure! =) Hope you had a great day celebrating and not freezing too much over there in Chicago.
Happy Birthday! Love the close up picture of Eko’s nose. Nothing like a dog to keep us humble, even on our “special day”. Don’t let all your birthday candles burn down your house, old man! 🙂
