Its not the best birthday present I have received, but rather the best birthday gift I have given my wife.
Wife was at a bowling alley, bowling with her league. I called her and said, ”“honey, come home. Something has happened in the house and you need to see this”. She was upset, but headed toward home.
She walked in the door all excited and flustrated. I calmed her down and assured her that this will be a magic moment in her life.
Just then, from a bedroom at the end of our ranch home, a small yelp could be heard. She ran down the hallway and opened the bedroom door.
There he was in all his glory…...a border collie puppy!!! My wife flipped out. He was so cute with his black and white hair and three dots on his left front leg. We name him Mikey.
Mikey took my place in the bed that night.. I understand why.
Today, we are celebrating Mikey’s 12th birthday. Thats 84 years compared to a human.
My wife will never forget that birthday and her love affair with Mikey…..our border collie.
