Thankful for and From Jakey!

 

 

Hi everybody and welcome to my Barkday Part Two!!!

 Today, before we finish our through the year series, I want to thank all of you for your Birthday wishes. You sure know how to make a guy feel loved!!

Mama gave me the bestest gift too(besides the new humungous backyard we move into next Monday). She says I can go into "semi retirement"

and don't have to wear hats or clothes anymore! 

 

Now, let's look at the last few years of my birthday pictures!

 

 

 Here I am at 12, and another one of Mama's favorites!

I have always been a pretty good model. It isn't hard to gaze Mama's way when she has a nommy treat in her hand!

 

 

At Thirteen, Mama decided we should be wearing Birthday Hats on our birthday, I am not a big fan of Birthday hats because they tend to steal my ears!

 

BTW....Our hats are all hand made at Sand Dollar Dog Company, the same place we get all our bandanas!

 

 

Here, on my 14th birthday, is a perfect example of how my ears tend to disappear when I wear a Birthday hat...Look on the right side of the hat...

NO EAR!!!

  

At 15, Mama made sure no ears were hidden!

 

 

At 16, I finally got my own cake and a hat with my name on it. Mama ordered the cake from Brad's Barkery, and it was soooooo nommy!!

 

I'll say thanks again and leave you with the short video Mama made of us all enjoying my cake...I especially loved the canolli on top!!!

 

You can also watch it HERE on YouTube!

 

  

Thank you Brian for hosting the

Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

 

Jakey, Happy Through the Years(part 2)

 

 My Birthday month has been a blast so far! Lots of snuggles, treats and fun photo shoots! There has also been a lot of reminiscing about me through the years!

 

 

  

Here I am on my 8th birthday! As you might have seen,  I have had a lot of different hair styles through the years. Here I am sporting the mustache and long ear hair look.

 

Looks like I spent my 9th Birthday napping!

 

 

No big surprise there,  I have always enjoyed a good nap!   In fact, that may be the secret to enjoying a long and healthy life,

lots and lots of naps!

 

Mama says this is one of her favorite pictures of me. It was taken on my 10th birthday. I am shredding my birthday gift. Mama calls this

"Typical Jakey"

It has only been in the last year of so that I have given up shredding..This old guy's teeth just can't rip like they used to!

 

Mama was really into PicMonkey on my 11th Birthday and made me this special card!  

 

Thanks for joining me for this walk through my past birthdays, join me next

week for my second 16th Birthday Pawty...

I hear this one is going to have CAKE!!
