Happy Birthday Mr Deuce!

One year ago today we picked up our new dog from the CRD pound. We've had to make a lot of changes in our lives but it's all been worth it because Mr Deuce is a happy dog. He gets a lot of exercise and play time, much better than the life he started with. I get a lot of exercise too, which is good for my health.
We had originally named him Deuce but have since added a "Mr" which sort of just happened. It suits him.
We are having a birthday dinner for him tonight with his favourite food: BEEF! One of his rules when we are eating is that he lies down and leaves everyone alone until we are finished. If he does that then he gets a treat. He's always extra good when he smells beef cooking because he knows he'll get some. It's a good thing that we're big beef eaters.
His favourite game is playing catch with his squeaky bone and he's very good at it. I don't throw it until he's lying down, I just have to snap my fingers and he's ready. He catches it almost every time.
He still has issues which we are dealing with but it is such a good experience and the trials are worth it with each barrier he breaks through. He has worked his way into all of our hearts and we will never be the same again. It's amazing, that's all I can say
Happy birthday Mr Deuce!
