Happy Birthday Boy

If you aren't a dog-lover...please move on. haha!
Someone very special and rather hairy just had a birthday.

Our Kanie turned 15 today.

He has been our puppy for over 14 years now. He was adopted from a local shelter when he was only 11 months old. He had been abused by his previous owner and I had to look at him while he cowered under a table in the office of the shelter. He was a basket-case & I knew 'nothing' about dogs so of course we'd make a great pair. *What!!* 
I loaded him in the car and, along with a good friend, two very nervous souls drove the 2 and a half hour trip to his new home. I won't pretend it was a bed of roses, geez, it wasn't even a bouquet of dandelions, but with time and lots of love he did manage to get over some of his fears. I learned a few things, he managed some manners and we have been attached at the hip ever since.

Here are many of my favorite photos over the years with Kane.
