Gabe 'n' Arch: The Beagle Boys: June 2010

He's 6 today! My big galoofus.

I'm painting my kitchen and in the mess I lost the cable to download pictures from my camera. I'll post some from today as soon as I am able.

Gabe started the day in a frisky mood, stealing my shoe and daring me to chase him around the yard. He got in some good naps - both indoors and out - before suppertime. I cooked us all bbq steak and baked potatoes for the birthday feast. Afterwards, we went to the dogpark. Gabe's new friend Luca was there, so I'm sure that was a high point of the day, as was his wallow in a mud puddle. And I do mean wallow, even dipping his nose in and tossing mud in the air. Ay-yi-yi. Yes, I had to drive him home like that. When we got home, I presented him with his gifts - a big bone and a toy (a stuffie with a squeaker inside, from the dollar store; it should last about 2 minutes once he decides he needs to get the squeaker out). Luckily for Archie, everything comes in "twos" on birthdays here, so Arch shared equally in all the loot.
