The Birthday Girl Salutes You
With a giant raspberry.
Harriet is 13 years old today. Not long after I got her, I met an elderly couple with a 14 year old Boxer. I was in awe, because they aren’t supposed to live that long. Harriet is giving it a good try, though. She’s lumpy and leaky, but she’s relatively healthy and pretty happy with life.

Harriet frequently sprawls on the couch with her head hanging off the edge and lips a-floppin’. It doesn’t look comfortable, but it must be.

Bad Henry
I heard a noise from the kitchen, and when I went to see what it was, I found the kitchen empty and the cupboard door hanging open. And then Henry poked her head out from around a box of saltines.

Vintage Ad
Newspaper ad for a retractable lead, 1941
“Smart dog owners carry leashes wound on spring reels. The leashes encased in Tenite are styled in lustrous colors to match almost any costume. By simply pressing a small switch on the handle, the dog may be controlled at any desired distance. Tenite will withstand rough handling without denting or chipping.”
Just in case you thought retractable leads were a relatively new thing. Who knew?!
