Happy Birthday Mr. G!

Today my big boy turns 7 years old! Happy Birthday Geeber!

As is the tradition for the boys' birthdays, we head out to PetSmart with "grandma" and the birthday boy gets to pick out a new toy.

Gio check out everything in the store ...

Giraffes

Balls

All the rubber squeakers

Piggies

Camels

Finally, the winner was ...

A MOOSE ... what a Canadian, eh?

Then off to Dairy Queen where the boys got a small lick of ice cream.

GIOVANNI! I said "SMALL LICK"!

Romeo is much more dainty ... this time.

And then time to break in the new Moose.

Happy Birthday my Gio. My true heart-dog. You continue to teach me how to live.

Gio CD RE (CKC) RXMCL (CARO) FM CGN SJATD HIC

Gio is a 8 year old over-sized sable Sheltie. He is my over-achiever, taking all expectations of him and stretching them to the extreme. He is retired from flyball due to poor health, but still enjoys competing in CARO Rally-O. He is a certified therapy dog with St. John Ambulance and loves visiting "his ladies" at various nursing homes in Saskatoon and area. He recently received his PEN from the CKC began competing in CKC obedience and Rally-O in fall of 2008. In his spare time, Gio enjoys tracking with his sniffer buddies, playing fetch or tug, and engaging Romeo in "Sheltie Wars".
