It seems that Jules has been with me for three years. Now it seems like it must be far longer, but it has just been 3 years. He's just filled each year with more moments and fun than I ever expected.
Not the youngest when we met, he does love his long naps and needs a few minutes when he wakes to go through his yoga routine. But sometimes, even after an intense stretching session he'll plop right back down and nod off. He knows the secret, sleep is good.
But he also wants to be seen as the most vigorous of dog, and also bigger than any dog he meets. Or any wild turkeys and geese. I don't know if it's bluff on his part or 50-pounds of confidence in a 20-pound sack.
It doesn't matter to me, as when he isn't trying to be an adventurer, he loves his time being adored and pampered.
And I look forward to more years of being able to spoil my little guy.
