Birthday Girl

Today is Sheryl’s birthday. I wasn’t the first to wish her happy birthday today, though. Snickers the Wonder Dog said happy birthday right away. Then again, for Snickers every day is Sheryl’s birthday. She’s happy, happy, happy to see “the birthday girl.”

Happy birthday, Sheryl. On a funny note, I was telling Sheryl that I read some stats yesterday that says we have both lived about a billion seconds already. Wow. She looks a few hundred million seconds younger than me.

iFlipFlop is 3 Years Old Today

Pink FlipFlopsiFlipFlop is no longer a toddler in the internet era. Three years in internet time has to be worth seven at least, so does that make iFlipFlop the equivalent of a 21-year-old?

Today, iFlipFlop’s third birthday, means it’s out of diapers. And I’ve kicked it out of the nest — after 2,138 posts and 12,789 comments — in favor of this site. It was a great run and I really enjoyed it. This site’s legacy goes back to that one, though. It showed me the way.

Happy birthday, old friend.

Snickers the Wonder Dog Turns 5

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.
