The High Holy Day

Yes, it’s the most special day of the entire year… MY BIRTHDAY!!!  I can’t believe I’m 3 already…

So what are we gonna do mom?  I know it’s REALLY hot outside (it was 100 degrees here today in Portland!) but you promised we’d go somewhere…

Ooooh, is that ARBY’S???

I’d like the 5-for-5 special please.  And hold the sauce.

Oh yeah… Meaty goodness in a bag!!!

Major points for presentation there dad… those sandwiches look SCRUMPTIOUS!!!  But wait… why is there only 4?  I thought I ordered 5…

I see, they’ve changed their deal at Arby’s.  Ok, so 4 will just HAVE to do…

But wait, what’s this?  A box for ME???

Ohmygosh, it’s from MAGGIE & MITCH!!!!

OPEN THE BOX MAMA!!!  I SMELL AIREDALE!!!

Yeah yeah mama, YOU can have the card…

I’ll take the yummy meaty sticks, thanks very much…

I LOVE these yummy treats – you guys ROCK!!!!

Oooooooooooh… me likey my new Whirl Wheel.  It squeaks!!!!

Oh this one is soooo sweet of you!!!  Mama has admired Miss Barbara’s Airedale portraits and now we have a whole book of them to look at!!!  You guys are SO generous and SO thoughtful, I’m sending you big, super, mega special AIRE KISSES for all of my fantastic birthday presents!!!

Hey, check out what dad gave me for my birthday… a new collar!  At first I looked at it, well hey, I have a collar, but this one had a little something extra special about it.  Dad made it for me from one of his old belts!!!  So now it’s kind of like he’s passing it down to me as his fuzzy son.  I LOVE IT DAD and will wear it with pride…

A BIG GIANT THANK YOU to ALL of my friends all over the world for their sweet birthday wishes, presents, and lovin’ – you make me such a happy boy!!!

Love,

Bogart
