Happy Birthday, Kobe.

I can't believe that baby boy Kobe has turned a year old. We got him when he was four months old and we could already tell that he was a real rascal.

I had an acquaintance say that he could not understand why people fawn over their dogs But unless you love dogs or have one of your own, you won't understand. Dogs are more loyal, more loving than some people ever could be. They don't have any hidden agendas, they don't ask anything of you other than your time, your attention and your affection. Oh yes and to feed them and pick their poop up! 

But their utter devotion to you is the pay off. They accept you for who you are faults and all. They don't judge you. They don't put you down. And they love you unconditionally.

They are really like toddlers, always up to mischief and full of love.

So we had a birthday party for our boy with a handful of his friends. Thanks for coming and for the presents!
