I can’t believe it…..Shelby turns seven today…..<\/p>\n

I still remember when I brought him home….he was a little terror!\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 I know I wrote posts about how smart he is….and the time he brought the knife out of the kitchen….he is scary smart!<\/p>\n

But, I want to talk about how sweet he is….the way he waits outside the bathroom while I am getting ready in the morning…the way he puts his head on my leg when he is ready to go to sleep….the way he wags his “stub” when I come home from work…the way he looks at me – I know he loves me!<\/p>\n

Baby Shelby!<\/p><\/div>\n

I know this probably sounds really sappy and weird, but I\u00c2\u00a0 think you dog lovers will understand.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 I have such a bond with Shelby, it is unbelievable.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 He means so much to me.\u00c2\u00a0 The fact that he is getting older makes me sad.<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong, he still jumps for frisbees, still chases balls, still knows which toy I mean when I tell him to go get his “guy…”\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 But, at the same time, I know that dogs are considered “seniors” once they turn seven.<\/p>\n

Shelby will still go with me to Camp Dogwood, we will still go to the dog park, we will still throw and chase frisbees and go on hikes.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 I just will continue to appreciate Shelby and what he means to me.<\/p>\n
