Can it Really be 4 Years???

[cheryl & oliver]

I can't believe that four years have gone by since our wonderful Oliver arrived in our lives...He is truly my heart dog, and I can't imagine not having him in my life.   He is funny, he is curious, and so many other wondeful things.  he may be a big moose of a dog, but to me he is just my sweet puppy.  He is everything I could have ever wanted.  He loves me unconditionaly, and he is there when I need some one to listen to me, or whatever my mood, he just knows how to be with me.  I have decided that he is a reincarnation of my sweet Dad...Sometimes I look at him, and I see so much of my dear Dad in him.  His patience, his calmness, his funny antics, whatever, even DH thinks he has the soul of a wonderful human that has returned.  DH loves him as much as I do, and we have had several dogs over our 40 yrs. of married life together, and we loved them all, and when we lost one, our hearts were broken, but this doodle, this Oliver, has been something different, we are just so thankful that he belongs to us...And I am hoping that he is with us for many years to come...Happy Birthday our sweet Oliver....It will be Oliver and I tonight for his birthday dinner, lol, it is tax season, so DH will be home who knows when, lol, so we are having a special dinner just the two of us...He will have scrambled eggs, chicken, and sweet potatoes with his reg. food, and for dessert, he will have some organic vanilla frozen yougurt...Tomorrow to the groomer for his bath and haircut...lol...cheryl ...P.S.  I am sure that some of you will think I have lost it with my feelings about his being a soul returned, but that is what I feel...lol....

Happy Birthday, Oliver! What a wonderful doodle to be all that you are to your mom. 

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

Happy Birthday sweet Oliver! I'm so glad that Oliver and you found each other! What a special birthday dinner he had!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I don't think you've lost it at all...how special that he has been able to keep your Dad's spirit alive for you!  This made me think about so many of us who have been here on DK since our Doodles were puppies...and now they're really "growing up".  I hope you and Oliver have a great BDay dinner!

Oliver

Hope you enjoy your special birthday dinner !

Enjoy your special dinner, I know exactly how you feel except for the reincarnation part. :>) Quincy will also have been with us for 4 years on Apr 16 and I can't imagine my life without him. It's a good think he likes to be hugged because I hug him a lot. Hugs to you and Oliver and wishes for a long and happy life.
