The Big One-O.

That’s right: the Ralphster turns the Big One-O today. My little man, all grown up.
*Sniffles*
I don’t want to get all melancholy on what should be a day of joy, happiness and celebration, so I’ll try to overlook the bittersweetness that is the double-digit canine birthday milestone and instead reflect on the six wonderful years (and hopefully six+ more!) I’ve spent with My Other Boyfriend ™. Ralphie truly is the best wiener dog a girl could ask for.
*Sighs*
K, enough of that. Let’s break out the pictures!
Vintage Ralphie, taken the summer we adopted him:
Even more vintage Ralphie - his DRNA adoption photo:
Some pics of The Ralph that I took during the move. Quite spry in his old middle age, eh? (He gets a lot of action for an old guy, too.)
And last year’s birthday montage, which I lovelovelove and have been meaning to print out and frame for - what? - a year now:
Man, I could do this all day. Every picture of Ralphie is my favorite…
But now I’m off to make my little guy some homemade biscuits, to (soy)butter him up for the photo session (complete with pumpkin and pirate outfits!) that’s sure to follow.
I love you, Ralphie, more than words can say.
{{{Hugs}}}
Mommy.
P.S. Daddy also loves you, so much so he wrote you your very own ode.
