Happy Birthday Riley!

Yesterday was our dog Riley's 7th birthday. We got him when he was 8 weeks old. Jeff and I were pondering the idea of getting a dog after we had finally moved into our new house (now old house) almost eight years ago. Around that time, someone in his office just happened to post this picture of a puppy that needed a home:

How can you say no to such a cute little thing? And they rest, as they say, is history. We brought him home. Poor dog was so scared he didn't eat for two days. He's definitely made up for that over the past seven years! Riley has been such a wonderful dog and has even managed to adjust to not one, but two little ones pulling his tail, yanking his floppy ears, sitting on him, and pulling his hair out. He's been so patient with the kids, it's hard to believe he's even a dog sometimes. He even puts up with stuff like this:

So Happy 7th Birthday RiRi. We hope you have many more!
