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

Great picture of such a handsome JD- and wow, that's a big antler!  Glad you had a HB.

[Pat and Traveler]

Happy birthday, JD!  You sure are looking handsome, and that antler looks delicious!

Thanks to all of you for the birthday wishes! Nicky & Cheryl, you don't see enough of him because he hates having his picture taken. The minute he sees a camera, he turns his head. And his mom is a lousy photographer, lol. 

Sheri, you can't tell from this photo, but his groomer clipped off his entire beard a couple of weeks ago! No danger of his coat touching the floor, it grows to a certain length and then falls out. One blessing of a shedding dog, no haircuts needed, lol!

Love and Big Birthday hugs to you, JD! We're so happy you had a great birthday and that your mom shared a new picture of you because we don't get to see enough of the handsome Jackdoodle!  Enjoy that delicious antler and your new tennis balls!  You and your mom are both pretty special.  We wish you both a wonderful year ahead!
