    it all began 6 years ago today (kpwlee)

     We went out on a Sunday afternoon for a beer at a local pub, made a pit stop at the local SPCA adoption center and our lives were permanently changed.

    Ever since I've very rarely walked alone, I have not eaten a banana without sharing, I've bought stock in magic erasers because they removed dried slobber like nothing else, teeny dark dog hair is woven into all clothing items, and no visitor has gone unassaulted.

    I've been alerted 3x that I need to take care of my asthma, I have laughed multiple times daily, I have learned to enjoy things that I just never saw as so exciting, say a trip to the bank,  and perhaps the most amazing thing beyond the incredible love I share with Bugsy is the incredible friendships I've forged with so many from this wonderful forum and our local community.

    I've shared before that the parties we attend and the people we host are all people we've met through Bugsy

    So thank you Bugs for selecting us - my life is so much richer, so much more fun and admittedly at times a bit frustrating Big Smile

    Great idea Kate, er Sinbad, Bugsy sez for everyone to have a treat on him!

    Happy Gotcha Day, Bugsy!!  We're all going to have a cookie to celebrate with you! 

    Karen, I don't know of another dog who has fascinated me as much as Bugs. . :)  I do know that he's a lucky guy to have you and your husband for owners. 

    Belle sends special kisses to him and we all send wishes for many more years of slobber and zoomies!

    Happy Gotcha Day, Bugsy!  What a cute little puppy you were!  Sending you lots of good wishes, some ear rubs, and a kiss on your silly head!

    Karen, what you said about a dog being a big reason for meeting new people and making new friends is so true.  Having lived in 3 neighborhoods during Tonka's lifetime, I'm positive we wouldn't have the relationships we have with people now if we hadn't have been walking him around the neighborhood.  And I wouldn't have found the great group of people on this forum had I not been searching for info related to his health and medical issues.  Dogs definitely add dimension to our lives (along with dog hair, muddy paw prints on the carpet, and other "inconveniences";)!

    A very very happy Gotcha Day to you Karen ....eeehr, I mean Bugsy. It was everybody lucky day that day, Bugs because he got a wonderful home and family, yours because you got the most incredible, funny, loving boy, and ours because we would not have met you and him otherwise.

    Enjoy your day, Bugsy boy. The girls appreciate the extra-cookie they will get on your behalf.

    Bugsy has a sort of youthful exuberance about him. I've always thought he was Misha's age or younger, though I know I watched him growing up before the Moosh. Bugsy's just got good genes is all. ;) Happy Gotcha Day, Bugsy! Though I know you're not technically a Christmas baby, you're pretty special, and make this time of year moreso for your family, I'm sure of it! :D

     Thanks everyone - heck its hard for me to believe he's 6 and that its been 6 years - ack slow down life!

    He's a special guy and both DH & I realize how fortunate we are to have him in our lives.  You all know I've had my fair share of moments where I felt completely overwhelmed but he's a really great dog, and I really do feel blessed

     I think I said it last year and I'll say it again this year....i wonder if this'll be the year mom gets you a goose! 

    Happy gotcha day big handsome boy!
