today, atlas is 9, so i am wishing a happy birthday to my dear little puppy.

i love him more than the sun, moon, and stars.

i love him times a million and forty seven and thirty three. (that's today's number. i make up a new number for him every day.)

he is the best four-legged friend a girl could have, and i am grateful for every single day i get to spend with him.

(insert a pause as i get up from my chair and give him a kiss on the nose, because he is watching me with an eagle eye as i sniffle away while typing.)

today, i am full of love for atlas, and i am full of love for all dogs. our world really is better because they are in it.

  6. Happy Birthday, Atlas! (My birthday was yesterday, but I’m 40 years older than Atlas!) I agree, the world is definitely a better place with dogs in it.

    Atlas says thank you for all the birthday greetings! I read them all to him. Also, I gave him lots of kisses on the nose. :)
    He had a very good day. He got to spend lots of time watching a kitty and people gave him treats and I cooked him chicken.
