Kenobi is 9 today

[samvara]

Or somewhere in the vicinity. I picked today way back when the vet said he's probably about 18 months old and I wanted a day that wasn't already taken by the many, many Librans I know. I shall buy a lot of tennis balls and some sort of squeaky treat in celebration.



Speaking as a dog person, Kenobi is a gift. He's loving, bright, cuddly, mad about throwing toys and full of alert interest in the world around him. I try to appreciate him every day (it's easy) and knowing his life span is maybe 15 years means I work to consciously treasure each loving moment.

Happy Birthday, Kenobi!

I love dogs' paws when they're trying to hold something without having opposable thumbs! (top photo)
(which also indicates that Kenobi shares Sidney's interest in CHEWING UP WOODEN THINGS)

He is gorgeous! Happy birthday Kenobi.

We were impressed at just how BIG a wooden thing he was willing to chew on! I think he got into the habit of helping himself from the woodpile by the fire back when we were using sticks and when we stopped he just took the smallest chunk anyway.

and yes, he is adorably handsy

Kenobi is a cool hound, I always enjoy seeing him around and his joy in life. And balls.

All the best dogs are Libran ;-)

Kenobi made great contributions to committee meetings. He's got some serious energy.
