Our beloved Cocker Spaniel, Conner, turns 10 years old today. That's 70 to you and me- but you would never know it! He still acts like a pup; he just takes more naps now. To be honest that is not that different from me! Still, 10 years is a long time to be part of a family. It's a lot of Beggin' Strips; a lot of walks; a lot of 4 am wake ups howls; a lot of time begging for food; a lot of time growling at Will; and a lot of time just wanting our love and attention. It's one Christmas tree tackled and a lot of wrapping paper ripped from gifts. And it is HUNDREDS of squirrels chased! Will likes to say that Conner is spoiled, because he has his own recliner and occasionally gets his own steak and cheese sub from Subway and his own sausage biscuit from McDonald's. Will is not wrong. Conner is family. And today we will celebrate with him! Marilyn thinks he may deserve his own Dairy Queen Blizzard to mark the big day. Conner would never argue with that!
So Happy Birthday, Conner Dog! Thank you for all of the joy and laughter you have brought to our little family. But was it really necessary to get me up at 4:19 this morning to start the party? Have a great day and a blessed weekend, everyone!
Because of Jesus,
