My 9th Birthday by Jackdoodle

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Hi, my friends, JD here. My birthday fell on Thanksgiving this year! I turned 9 years old yesterday, so we had a double celebration at my house. My human brother and his friend spent the day here, and they played ball with me a lot !!! I have a bunch of new balls that my Aunt Jane sent me for my birthday, and we played with all of them! Even the Happy Birthday tennis balls that are only supposed to be for outside! I had a really good time!

My mom got me a new antler for my birthday. It's much bigger than my old one, and I really like it 'cause it's easy to hold! Here's a picture I let my mom take of me with my birthday antler!

 

Finnley's mom Sheila also wrote a really good poem for me in honor of my birthday! Isn't she talented?? My mom just loves it:

 

Yippee, yahoo, and hip, hip, hooray.

Our buddy JD has a birthday today !

 He is NINE people years, but a puppy in his heart.

JD adores his mom Karen, they are rarely apart.

 

 His long golden hair and his tongue hanging out,

loving this big fur ball, is truly what it's all about !

 Celebrate

Jackdoodle, party on like you're still 4.

 You deserve a wonderful day, cause you're a dog we all adore ! 

My Thanksgiving birthday was really special! This was also my first birthday since 2010 that I wasn't sick from my IBD, so it was an especially great one!

Thanks for reading!

Love from your friend,

JD

Oh Jack I love your Birthday Poem!  You are one of the oldest and wisest and "handsome-est" and smartest Doods on DK.  You're kind of an "institution" here and you and your Mom have helped so many Doodle Moms and Dads.  G & M look up to you as kind of a "big brother"....I tell them about you all the time.  Murph especially likes the stories of when you "go ballistic" on walks with your Mom.  Hey I just noticed that "ballistic"  has to pretty cool words contained in it.....ball and stic(k)....hmm, maybe there's some connection. Anyway, we're glad you had such a good day and that you're playing with your new balls.
