Birthday

Birthday Boy!

Yesterday Oshie turned 3 years old which, depending on the source, is anywhere from 24-29 in dog years. Despite getting older he still has that happy and rambunctious puppy attitude about him.

As usual he was completely spoiled and received a delicious steak and vegetable dinner (fear not the steak was not seasoned it any way).

And after dinner Oshie received a special cupcake because how can you have a birthday without a cake? Nancy made the cupcakes which had peanut butter and carrots in them along with peanut butter for frosting. I will be sure to post the recipe later.

Oshie absolutely devoured both the steak and the cupcake. See for yourselves in the videos below.

Hopefully he doesn’t think that now he will be eating like this every night.

Happy Birthday Oshie!

Myrtle Beach Osprey

I finally managed to get a decent picture of an Osprey. Took traveling to South Carolina for a Marine Corps Birthday ball in Myrtle Beach but hey I will take it. I was just surprised that they were hanging around the area where we stayed. It was heavily populated. I wish I had a longer lens with me.

So Nancy made it back stateside in time for my birthday which happened to fall on Easter Sunday this year. She had a small get together for me that included Oshie, me, my brother Ethan and his dog, his roommate Scott and of course Nancy. So yeah it was small but we aren’t really party people ha-ha.

Anyway she knows how much I love Mexican food so we had a little Mexican cookout. She made her awesome salsa verde and guacamole, rice and beans while I grilled the carne asada. Of course there was Mexican beer and Oshie and his cousin Boston (my brother’s dog) were taking full advantage of the jolly atmosphere and getting their fill of the steak.

Yumm!

Guac!!!!!

The meat!

Love this salsa!

Nancy bought me some cool birthday gifts while she was in Norway(sorry I didn’t take pictures of them). The first was Norwegian Absinthe and the second gift was a beer Stein from Iceland she bought on their way back to the states. It is sweet and I guess I have to start a stein collection now.

Anyway I just want to get a post up as I have been slacking off again. With spring finally here I will have plenty of new pictures of Oshie and spring adventures to share. Cheers!

Oh and Oshie says hi!

Happy Birthday!

Today is Oshie’s birthday! The little bugger has turned two. Does this mean that he is no longer a puppy? Regardless he will always be a puppy to me and Nancy. In dog years he is a young adult at 24 years old or something like that. I am never really sure how many years a human year is in dogs years as apparently it varies depending on what age the dog is and size as well according to the inter-web.

We are so happy that we have Oshie, he is such a great dog and we look forward to spending many more years with him. He is getting spoiled tonight!
