Galen is over nine months old now and looks all grown up. But, make no mistake, he remains very much the puppy. Thanks to his peculiar quirks and boundless energy, he fills our house with life and joy.
Some days we feel guilty about his having been stuck with what The Husband refers to as "two old fogeys". We can't help wondering if he would be happier with a couple of energetic youngsters to chase. My surgery appeared to be hard on him—lots of days at doggy day-care along with strange new rules of interaction when we were with him—left him a bit confused. But, he seems to have bounced back none the worse for the ordeal. His resilience and love of life's simple things is inspiring.
It looks like Galen is ready for the New Year!
ReplyDeleteI clicked through and was looking at your series of Galen photos on your SmugMug site. WOW, he's grown so fast and looks so mature -- a handsome guy who no doubt gets more then his share of love and attention.
ReplyDeleteAnita, he's beautiful! I wondered how he was doing, and he's growing right in to a handsome, hairy lad :)
ReplyDeleteSteve - He loves this weather!
ReplyDeleteEarl - He has grown fast—almost too fast. You bet he gets lots of love and attention. He loves to cuddle.
ReplyDeleteMary Ann - Thank you for his compliment. I will be sure to let him know. Naturally, we think he is extraordinarily good looking. And we certainly aren't biased in any way. :)
