Manly Monday - Happy Birthday, Ollie!

 

#1 here. When Ollie arrived at The Poupounette, in late January 2019, my heart was still completely broken by the loss of Tommy. The gaping void he left behind was so wide and so deep that something needed to fill it. I debated getting a different breed of dog, but Springers are so lovely that I eventually settled on another one, but of a different colour. Ollie could not be more different from Tommy except for the one, most important, thing. He is kind, he is sweet and he has not an iota of aggressiveness. To me, that is the most important trait in a dog. He did not know cats when he arrived but he quickly made friends of them. The cats adore him, most particularly Momo who is always ready to snuggle with him. To celebrate his fifth birthday today, here are some photos of Ollie since he arrived, followed by some of him and his pussycats.

Thank you, Ollie, for being such a good boy (despite your ongoing deafness sometimes when I call you). You are a true gift and we all love you and wish you Many Happy Returns of the Day.

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY, OLLIE!
