9-4-14

When we adopted Leo, they told us his estimated age was 11 months. I felt like that gave us a little liberty in establishing his birthdate, so I decided we would make it 9-4-13. 

Because 9+4=13. 

Surely I can remember an important, albeit made-up, day when it's a mathematical equation, right?

So today we celebrated Leo's fake birthday. We started the morning with a trip to the local dog park where Leo played with an adorable - and very patient- German shepherd. 

I then took Leo to Happy Grooming for a real bath (and whatever it was that Mac and I attempted a couple weeks ago). In addition to the bath, Leo got his nails clipped and his ears cleaned. It was a real spa day.

Later in the day, Leo enjoyed his homemade doggy birthday cake, which featured his all-time favorite peanut butter and carrots. He devoured his large cupcake, which Jimmy said was equivalent to Jimmy eating a 20-pound cupcake. Whatever. You only turn one once. 

For his birthday, Leo received his first rawhide bone, which he is now loving. 

We ended the night at Mac's flag football practice. While Mac practiced, Leo played with his new dog friend, Harper. 

I think it was a pretty great day to be Leo!
