HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HURLEY!

Today our other son...our four-legged baby...is turning THREE!  Yup, in dog years he is now officially drinking age...although he's been known to dabble in some brewski when Grampy or some of the guys are around.  He'll even try to sneak a lick of your wine glass, so he's just like your normal teenager...deseprate to drink before legal age.  Don't judge us for it.

We just LOVE this little man to pieces; he is truly like a kid to us and such a big part of our family.  I remember when he was just a wee-pup; the first day he came home he had explosive spraying diarrhea in the corner of our dining room and from then on we knew he was "the one" for us!  Here is BABY HURLEY...MEMORIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS (come on, sing along with me)...


We loved him from the second we saw him!




He went from a teeny tiny 5lb sleeping machine to a lean 58lb sleeping machine in the last 3 years!  His Mom & Dad were big, and the male Olde English Bullies are typically 70-90 lbs so we were expecting a big boy but Hurley is actually relatively little!  Here's his Mom & Dad...

How gorgeous is this guy...


He's not all just good looks though, this guy's got personality, too.  He is a happy, excited, loving boy, and a little nuts.  The nuts part comes from us, his human parents ~ he's spoiled with a bizillion beds around the house to make sure he is comfy and pampered at all times...his big igloo bed, his foam bed downstairs next to the couch, a sheepskin rug under the coffee table and another in Bentley's room, and a comforter that he loves sleeping on.  He also loves sleeping in the back corner of our closet so all of my old work clothes are hidden back there & covered with Hurley fur. He loves to play with his other dog friends.  And other than chewing up some baby toys and shoes every now and then, or a remote control, he's just a big lovebug.

For his birthday I got him a stuffed Woody from Toy Story.  Weird, yes.  BACKSTORY: We got a small stuffed Woody at my baby shower and Hurley ended up LOVING it.  It was like his own little baby that he carried around for the rest of my pregnancy, and after Bentley was born.  He would normally tear a stuffed toy to shreds but his little Woody...HAHA, yes I have the mind of a 13 year-old boy...he took care of and carried around and licked him and played with him until he was 'no longer.'  He basically loved Woody "to death" and we finally had to throw him away.  So when I was walking through Target and this guy struck my eye...HELLOOOOOOOOO WOODY...


I also got him a few "special" treats, some Pup-Peroni's.  Usually we stick to his standard Old Mother Hubbard organic treats, which he loves, but what pup doesn't want a delicious beefy treat once in awhile (although I did get him the low fat version).

Look how proud the birthday boy is!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY HURLEY, HURL, H-MAN, UNCLE HURLEY, BOO BOO, my BOOGIE FACE, WEE-MAN!  We love you!
