My humans tell me it’s my 8th birthday today. Now, I can’t count, and I don’t really know what a birthday is, either.
But they seem rather pleased with themselves when they talk about it, and all I want is for them to be happy.
I still feel like a puppy, mind you, and I still freak out when squirrels, bunnies, and birds have the audacity to show up in my back yard. From the moment my humans first brought me home, I promised my humans I would always guard them, even if it gets a little noisy.
They give me lots of dog hugs, and while I lack opposable thumbs, I do my best to return the favour. I’ll admit it feels nice.
I never fully outgrew my chewing-on-paper phase. Come to think of it, I still scrape at the carpet, dig through the sofa, and growl at my reflection in the glass on the stove. They say I’m a weird dog, but that I’m
their weird. Then they hug me again, so I’m pretty sure we’re all good.
Sometimes my daddy gets a little sad when he talks about numbers. He says he wishes I could stick around forever, but I don’t think that’s how it works.
Still, I’m a dog, so I don’t worry about the same things my humans do. I’m just glad they’re mine, and glad that every day seems to be a little more charmed than the last.
I think today will be a lot like every other day. I’ll eat a bunch of times, we’ll go for a bunch of walks, we’ll play tug-of-war with my favourite toys, then I’ll whine because I don’t like when my toys skitter behind the plant stand.
I’ll also take a nap in my big dog bed. Or in my mom’s lap. Or anywhere else the spirit moves me.
I’ll probably hide under the dining room table when it’s time to go outside, I’ll beg for handouts at dinner time, and I’ll try to grab dad’s sock as he tries to put it on.
Like I said, I’m weird, but I think in this family that’s a good thing.
Thank you for following my life ever since I first became a Levy. Thank you for being so nice to my humans, too. Now where’s my cake?
Lots of love,
Calli the Wonderschnauzer
