It's Opie's Adoption Anniversary!

Can you believe it? Dogmom and I are having a really hard time believing that Opie came to live with us SIX YEARS ago today! I mean, well, I'm even older and I was here first ... but can you believe that he's been here that long? Basically, that's almost his whole life!

Do you remember the story about how Opie came to live with us? He told it on the second day that Dogs' Aye View was live on the Internet. I mean, we were telling stories a long time before that... but not recording them all. (You can find the story here: http://dogsayeview.blogspot.com/2006/07/im-dopey-opie.html)

Anyways, six years ago today, the dopey Opie came to live with us. Dogmom says that that Marley and Me book is pretty much a story about her life with Opie. Obedience training was a total bomb with him. The only reason he doesn't jump our fence any more is because we don't have one. He still only sits, stays, comes and lays down when he feels like it.... sometimes as much as five minutes after dogmom tells him to and stands there and stares at him.

And he's definitely the class clown sometimes. He gets those funny looks on his face... and does silly things...
But he plays tag with me... and taught me how to howl a proper tune...
and, well... he just generally makes me happy!

Dogmom says we can keep him!
Wuf Ya!
