F is for Celebrating Fifteen Years

April 15, 2015 By Mary Hill 3 Comments

He may be old, but he is still a puppy at heart. Our Dobber celebrated his fifteenth birthday this month.

This little guy went through a lot with me because he was abused more than 15 years ago by my late husband who also abused me. You can read more about it on my post about domestic violence here.

Dobber defended me and kept me sane during this terrible time. We survived and found a better life. 🙂 Today, he has cateracts and deaf in one ear, but he jumps, runs, and plays. I hope we get to celebrate his 16th birthday.

Here are some pictures of us celebrating his special birthday. 🙂

Dobber can’t wait to get his cake.
