Many of you know Cool Dog Myles, but for those who don't Myles is my black lab and I knew he was mine when he was 5 weeks old and brought him home when he was 8 weeks old. He was born in Monterey, CA. and had 7 other siblings. His mother was a pure bred show lab who had a thing for the 3/4 lab 1/4 Australian Shepard next door. Five of his litter were black with a white spot somewhere like Myles and three were gray and black spotted. The picture is of Myles at 12 weeks old.
January 18 is his 15th Birthday and I want to wish him the very best. This year hasn't been easy (he has two episodes of Vestibular Disease)but he has adjusted and has continued to be a loving caring part of this family despite it all. He is still the best watch dog ever. He totally scared the the pizza delivery guy today.
I think having Myles in our lives has been a blessing every day. Seeing his happy smile and wagging tail when we wake up is awesome. Watching him with Piper is wonderful. He has allowed her, from the start, to crawl all over him and pet him even when he is asleep. He has moved so gracefully into every phase of his life. Even now, as he has reached senior citizen status he has relaxed and allowed more dog friends into his circle. Here is Myles and Piper when she was 18 months old laying in the grass. He had just finished playing a good 15 minutes of ball and was beat.
