Today is my baby boy's 5th birthday :) I got him some special treats, a new toy and he will get special meals today. Like breakfast is normally kibble, salmon oil and frozen green beans but this morning I substituted half the kibble for boiled hamburger and added a couple spoon fulls of cottage cheese. Tonight I will again substitute half his kibble for boiled hamburger and add yogurt and apples (he gets yogurt and fruits or veggies on his dinner every other night so the hamburger is really the only special thing).

In past years and in the time approaching this birthday I have allowed myself to get sad. I love my boy so VERY VERY much and seeing time go by so fast saddens me. Our dogs are here with us for such a short time, especially bullys and the idea of not having Samson around one day breaks my heart. BUT after a nice conversation with one of our wonderful EBN members about our bullys aging I have decided to just remember to make each day count and fully appreciate the time I have with Samson while he is with me and not allow myself to be prematurely saddened by something I can't even control. So in celebration of his life here are pictures from every year of my handsome Sam's life :heart::heart::heart::heart:

Happy 5th bday Samson! Really love his youngin' pics. He's quite the looker!

I get sad too when I think about how much little time we have with them. But that's when we appreciate them more and find ways to make and keep them smile. Don't worry, we all know here that Samson's one of the most spoiled fur-kids and he's happy as can be, all thanks to his momma!

Hope this day turns out fanstastic and many many many (x infinity) more to come!

Your post made me tear up. Being a new bully owner, i'm going to try with all my heart to live in the present with Tate and enjoy him as much as I can every moment. Thanks for the reminder!
Happy birthday to you, Samson! you are a handsome boy!

Happy Birthday Samson!!!! What a great birthday tribute to him. I know how sad it is to realize they arent pups anymore since Cutty is 5 too but they are both young pups still in their minds so that makes it better! :hug: to such a handsome young man! :D
