Happy Belated Birthday to Jax

Jax celebrated his 6th birthday last Saturday.  And not only did we forget about it that day but he was locked in his kennel for 12 hours while we were gone the entire day.  Well, good thing he's a dog and doesn't understand those things.  But IF he did understand, here's what I would tell him.....

Dear Jax,
Let's face it - before Lily was born, you were our baby.  You've given us a lot of extra joy over the years.  And it's been a sweet thing to see you and Lily interact.  You make life more fun (except when you incessantly bark when someone comes to the door) and we hope you're in our family for many more birthdays.  You have a special place in our hearts, buddy.  Happy 6th! (or 42nd, however you want to look at it.  You're over the hill now!)

"Mmm.  This looks delicous" {licks lips}
