Halas Turns 6 Years Old Today!!!

[Leslie and Halas]

Today is Halas' 6th birthday!  I can't believe how fast the time has gone!  I'm so lucky that this fuzzy little dood is part of my life.

We're spending the day celebrating.  I gave him some scrambled eggs this morning, and then we went to the creek to hike.  We haven't been since before his lipoma removal, but it was a little disappointing.  There isn't really much of a creek at all right now.  The sections that are normally deep enough for him to swim only had a few inches of water in them.  The rest of the creek was dry.  But we still did a lot of walking, and then went along the trail for a little bit.  I rinsed him off and combed him when we got home, and now we're resting.  Barley and Grammy are coming over in a few hours for a birthday dinner.  It will be the usual - salmon, asparagus, and sweet potato.

Happy Birthday, Halas!  I love you!

UPDATE 9/2/13

Halas says thanks for all the birthday wishes!  When Grammy and Barley came over, we decided to go to Petco.  Barley got the Hide-A-Bee toy.  Halas got some replacement bees for that same toy, even though he doesn't have the Hide-A-Bee.  He has several of the Hide-A-Thing toys, but I knew he would like the replacements.  We also picked up some doggy ice cream for them.  First, we let them have the ice cream:

Then Halas tried to hog all of the bees, and spent most of the rest of the night playing keep-away from Barley:

Then it was dinner time.  As promised, it was salmon, asparagus, and sweet potato:

Followed by a little more keep-away:

After Grammy and Barley went home, Halas was pretty wiped out.  He was fast asleep on the sofa when I told him it was time for bed.  I said, "Want to go night-night?"  And he jumped up, grabbed all three of his bees, and ran upstairs to bed:

It looks like Halas had a great birthday! I see the good dishes were on the deck this year instead of on the dinner table...where are the placemats and cloth napkins? 

Tell Halas that JD said it's okay to hog all the toys on your birthday!

Happy belated birthday! Sound like you had a fabulous day!
