Today began Jake's birthday week! Only eleven short years ago, "Jake the Snake" (AKC registry name) was whelped on a small farm in Iowa. Since then, he has been a little angel in our lives. Throughout that time, Jake has been a trooper, surviving a near fatal car versus dog (I don't think anyone really won that fight), (2) operations for urinary bladder stones, an operation for a fatty tumor removal, castration (yes, that was a tough one), and (23) stitches received from a foster dog who wanted to prove herself (Jake decided not to fight back on that one). Last but not least, his biggest challenge has been as a mentor to the young rising jedi (aka Wild Spirit) known as Farley. He has snarled his way into our family and many other lives along the way. He got his annual favorite treat of Dairy Queen today, but expects more to come throughout the week!

How pathetically cute the second photo is...I hope you're making a best of the best album!
