National 'Love Your Pet' Day

My Dearest Hunter,

Today is National Love Your Pet Day.  While I don't think we have ever needed a day marked on the calendar to show our love for you because we love you to pieces every day - I am glad that there is a specific day each year to encourage the nation to love on their animals!

You have been such a great little guy to have in our lives.  You make us laugh and smile but you also drive us crazy at times - but it is all part of who you are and we wouldn't change a thing about you.

It's hard to believe that you have been with us 4.5 years as it feels as though you have always been apart of this little family of ours.

You have done such a good job adjusting to life with Conor and all the "stuff" that comes with a baby in the house.  You now willingly go sniff him when he is on the floor and if we are there with him you will come over and start your "big roll" game with us.  You aren't jealous but you certainly are reminding us that you were here first :)

So, in honor of national pet day - let's take a walk down memory lane:
The picture that captured our hearts.
