My little boy turns 23 years old today! I still remember getting him off the trailer the day I got him when he was 6 and I was 11. Neither one of us are the young pair we used to be and Teddy is showing his age a little bit as he is graying all over his face more and more, is quite stiff most days and his COPD is wrecking havoc on his respiratory and immune systems. However, he still has a light in his eyes and still looks at everyone happily with ears so far forward they look like they will spring off as if he truly believes their sole purpose is to give him treats. He has been my best bud for over 15 years and by my side for all of my huge milestones. I have buried my face in his neck to cry and celebrated the good times with him over carrot cake. He has frustrated me over the years (and still does), but he has taught me so much and makes me smile every time I see him. So I know he doesn't read my blog (no matter how many times I send him the link) but Happy Birthday, my friend. I love you beyond words.
