Happy Birthday, Grux!
Just want to take a moment and wish my beautiful boy a happy birthday! I can't believe he is already 3 years old. I'm so proud of him, he got his therapy dog title just a few months ago and has been doing dog safety talks at schools and other children's groups. Love you buddy!
