I cannot believe my gentle giant is already 3 years old. It seems like just yesterday I brought him home. With a job change and major move in the last three years, he has been a real constant and a real trooper. He accepted Barney without reservation, well after he pouted all the way home when we went to pick him up!
I cannot imagine not having him and am so very thankful he has been my constant companion since he was 7 weeks.
I'll never forget the first time I ever held him at 3 weeks. He let me hold him on his back and never wiggled, well until he was hungry..lol.
Happy Birthday my loyal friend. ANd may we have many more years of birthdays!
In a couple of weeks, I am going tohave a little party for him with some friends over. And Probably Wednesday I am thinking of taking him and Barney to Petco. They opened a new store at a town about an hour away from here.
It has become kind of a custom to post the first picture I took of Tal when we got home. We've affectionately called it Tal in a Box. I'll post some newer pics of him tomorrow, but here's the first!
