Remembering Tommy

 

#1 here. Today is my birthday, but more importantly, it was also Tommy's birthday. Those 11 birthdays he and I shared were among the happiest of my life, and I still miss him each and every day. So today, I would like to look back at those birthdays, year by year.

August 2008 - 1st Birthday


August 2009 - 2nd Birthday


August 2010 - 3rd Birthday


August 2011 - 4th Birthday


August 2012 - 5th Birthday


August 2013 - 6th Birthday


August 2014 - 7th Birthday


August 2015 - 8th Birthday


August 2016 - 9th Birthday


August 2017 - 10th Birthday


August 2018 - 11th Birthday


The last few years of his life, we got into the habit of going up to the Normandy Coast and spending our birthday with Tommy's furry family and his breeders. On the litter 's birthday, we would go to the beach. The weather was always glorious. They were such special times. In the last shot above, Tommy is on the far right, next to his niece, and two of his sisters are on the left.
