Birthdays.....

   I guess 91 is the magical number this week at our house.  My grandfather would have been 91 on Friday and Reeces will be 13 (91 in human years) tomorrow.  Pawpaw almost made it to his 91st birthday.  I really kind of think he was holding out for it, but just got tired.  He was pretty stubborn like that and might have wanted to just prove us all wrong that last year was his last birthday.  I'm sure he had a heck of a birthday celebration this year though.

This was our last Christmas with him. I love this grin, it shows how mischevious he was.

 Celebrating his 90th birthday last year.

I have always loved this picture of him, he was so handsome.

 

 I can't believe my little Reeces is 13! It seems like just yesterday I brought him home and he was so small he fit in the palm of my hand, considering he weighed 3lbs.  Yes, he's old and grumpy, is losing his eyesight and hearing, but he's still my little Reeces.  He's been my best little friend for the past 13 years and just the thought of something happening to him makes me tear up.  He has already outlived all the other pomeranians in my family, they all died at age 12.  I feel that, just despite Dan, he will live forever as most of you know, they have a love/hate relationship.  Dan will miss him more than he thinks.  He will actually miss getting growled at when he gets up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night or when he gets into bed.  No matter what, Reeces is one of a kind and there will never be another dog with such a personality.
