10 years ago today, my dog Vinny was born. It has been a crazy life for the little guy. He grew up in a fraternity (and an occasional sorority), has driven from Chicago to California and back without a single nap, had life saving disc surgery, and has recently been ridden like a rodeo bull on a daily basis by our insane cat. All the while, Vinny has been the most loyal dog who, and I'm not using hyperbole here, may love me more than any other dog loves its' owner. He has been attached to my hip every day of these 10 years and tries to protect me as much as his little bark lets him (he still growls at my wife in the morning when she gives me a kiss in bed). I figured on such a momentous occasion as a 10th birthday, Vinny was in line to receive a random act of kindness. Since I know he typically reads this blog before he goes to bed at night, I can post this and have his act still be a surprise. So today, for my random act of kindness, I will be giving Vinny a birthday dog massage. I researched calming massage techniques for animals so I think he will have a nice relaxing evening as long as the cat doesn't bite him on the legs like she typically does.
;-) thanks for the idea, I will plan an act of kindness for my dog too ... She lives with my parents in Italy and I live in Spain and I really want to do something special for her when I go back! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI remember you bringing Vinny into X for the first time. I have some great pictures of him, and the poops that he would hide under my futon.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Vincenzo
Wow... That's a really sweet thing to do for your dog, Vinny. He has truly been through a lot in his short life of 10 years... Please wish him a happy birthday for me!
