Look who had a birthday! Plato turned 10 🎂!
We celebrated with fancy dog food and a couple of new toys.
Of course we love our kids but we really love our dogs, right🤣!
It seems like yesterday when Nicholas and I drove to the middle of nowhere Ohio and chose little puppy from the Old Order Mennonite breeder. Now the kids are grown and Plato is an old guy, just like us,😮. As my favorite saying goes:
Gettin’ old ain’t for sissies.
