Happy Birthday Leo!!

What a lucky day.

It must be, because this happy guy has managed to live to the ripe old age of 8.

I've wondered sometimes with so many mishaps... he ate a pound of dark chocolate on my birthday one year, he has Addison's disease which is life threatening without regular medications (and he has a forgetful mom), he once nearly died from bloat, and his most recent escapade where he ate a large loaf of bread that was rising on a friend's counter -
by this time they knew him by name at the Vet ER.

Yeah, he's 8 yrs old on 8/8/8! How cool is that.
It's been suggested I follow him around lest
he lay a golden egg.

Here he is at 6 wks old. He's standing on my hand. Awwww so cute!

Now sniffing my hand at the ripe age of 8 - that's 56 in human years....

Happy Birthday Leo! You keep me on my toes, that's for sure - and as log as I have you, I'll never have to worry about having too much money.
