2014, Day 276 - Alert

Oh Stubbs, you are getting increasing quirky which is really saying something because you were a bit of an odd duck when I brought you home.  At first you were afraid of everyone and everything but after a couple weeks I found the nest you made in my bed and a few months later and you were part of the family.  Still overwhelmed by new people and totally camera-shy you were my diamond that no one would ever be able to appreciate.  Eight years later you are the oldest dog in the house and the perpetual puppy; every morning while I make your breakfast you play with your toys until I am ready to serve and the other dogs think you're a bit crazy but that's okay, neither of us really cares.  It will be your birthday again soon and I feel very fortunate to have had your company for the last eight years.
