Snickers the Wonder Dog Turns 5

by Frank Roche on August 2, 2007

SnickersOur little girl, Snickers the Wonder Dog, is 5 years old today. I can remember like it was yesterday when Sheryl brought her home. She was just a little ball of white fur. Five years later, she’s still a puppy at heart. She still sleeps in our bed at night. She follows Sheryl around *everywhere*.

Every night at around 8:30 or 9:00, she goes and gets her toys one-by-one and brings them to Sheryl. Toys get tossed for a while and then Snicky hops up on the couch to curl up with her “mother.”

We were going to breed her this year. Nearly everyone we knew wanted a little Wonder Dog. But her hips were bad, so we spayed her a few months ago. Anyways, we’re lucky to have her. Other than the hips, she’s in super good health and we expect many more birthdays for our little girl.

    Dee, lol, not bad for a dog, huh? She’s really fantastic, and even though she sits by the kitchen table when we eat, she never begs. (She has been known to drool every once in a while.) I was at a client dinner last night, but I’m going to guess if specially cooked steak and eggs were for breakfast that dinner was something good too.

    Merci and Pinky Bear…thanks! Funny celebrating a dog’s birthday, but she is a real member of the family. (Not in that creepy, I have 150 cats, kind of way. We just like her.)

    I’ll pat her head and rub her belly. That’s what she wants for her birthday. Don’t we all?
