Gemini Is Nine

I woke up this morning with Dad singing happy barkday to me.  He told me that I am nine years.  Bowsers, that is hard to believe.  It seems like yesterday that I was born.  Dad went to work, but we went to our favorite place when Dad got back home.  Angel Paws have been a place of many a good time.  Below are two pawtographs from Angel Paws.  You can see Normandy in the background in one of them.

Normandy Turns Four

"Creeeeeeek."  Boy, this place sure is dusty.  We keep meaning to post, but never seem to get to it.  Dad gets busy doing one thing or another.

Waking Up to Dad Singing Happy Barkday

Well, the big news is that Norm turned four today.  Me and Dad still remember the rambunctious puppy.  We got extra cheese and treats today too.  Lots of pets and belly rubs too.

Gem & Norm Resting Side by Side

Dad and Gemini still remember when Norm was born.  I was excited at the thought of having another pup around.  As you can tell we get along with each other.
