Ozzie Oswald

Today is a great day because today is my little nugget Oswald's BIRTHDAY!! Today my fur baby turns a whopping 3 years old, or in doggy years the BIG 2-1!!  

First ever cup of vanilla ice cream

Now I've never been very good at keeping plants or goldfish alive so today is not only the Oz-man's birthday, its very much a personal victory for ME! I've managed to feed and water a living creature nearly every day for almost 3 years, and have always left him in the hands of trusted friends and family every time I've had to/wanted to leave town and couldn't take him with me.

Isn't he freakin' adorable?!!

"Nugs" as he sometimes goes by, is by far my most prized possessions. Raising this little one has been a true adventure. Through all of the potty training woes, chewing up all his stuffed toys and cute doggy beds, as well as spilling the bathroom garbage and dragging it all over my apartments, and using my kitchen cupboards as his teething toy--he's always kept me on my toes and drove me to my limits. I don't know how many times I've been so frustrated with him I wanted to just chuck him over the balcony and be done with him!

 Even so, he's always been with me through every move I've made, he's been my comfort through the sad times, someone to get excited with during the happy, and been one of my favorite partners for my day time dance parties (he's got moves like jagger ;)). This little dude has been able to warm so many hearts with his quarky personality and I can NOT imagine life without him!!

...except when he farts.
