Yesterday was Amos' 9th birthday--he was born 1/2/03--and this is what 9 looks like from his perspective, which is pretty good as far as I can tell. He had a great day with a nice long hike in the dog park, lots of extra attention and a few extra treats (which he shared with the rest of the pack). He loves the cooler weather so he should be even happier today when the forecast high is for 32--our first real taste of winter.
