Two and Terrific!

Two scoops of the birthday party flavor, please!! Jake turns two today!

And so we celebrate this handsome, smart, affectionate (on his own terms), feisty, tenacious, sweet, sociable, mellow, friendly and loyal Scottish Terrier.

He's slow to rise in the morning, luxuriating in his bed and enjoying a good long stretch before following Albert, his young pesky cousin and best dog friend, out the door.

He learned his obedience and will do anything you ask, so long as there’s a treat and nothing more interesting going on.

Generous with his toys and personal space, he shares willingly with Albert.

He loves walks, hiking, rides in the car, chasing butterflies, and arranging the couch pillows just the way he wants them.

He loves affection, but doesn't like to be held longer than necessary.

He's talkative and will carry on quite the conversation with you if you are in a chatty mood....arrr-ooo-ooo aroooo arooo.

He loves meeting new people and is our official greeter. If he knows that you like him, he will eagerly greet you EVERY time he sees you, like his long lost best friend.

He loves pretending he's a race car and doing laps around the coffee table with Albert at top speed.

He has the most soulful brown eyes imaginable; they will follow you from under his eyebrows even when it seems he's not watching.

He's not overly fond of getting wet, would rather not have a bath or be groomed, hates having his toenails clipped and refuses to be turned over on his back by anyone, except me.

He's one sweet boy. We love him and are so happy that he's part of our family. And now he's a big boy – two years old!

Happy Birthday, Sweet Jake!! 



Co-ink-i-den-ti-cal-ly, it’s also Saturday Centus, and Mrs. Jenny must have had an inkling it was Jake’s special day when she dished up this week’s prompt (in red above). She told us we could have 100 words, plus the prompt and any photos we wanted. Since it’s Jake’s birthday, I took the liberty of taking 2 generous scoops of words. I’m sure she won't mind.

Be sure to head on over to Mrs. Jenny’s place and see what flavor the other Centusians have chosen for their parties.
