Luke's Birthday

Today is Luke Bradley's 6th Birthday. Who's Luke Bradley, you ask? Luke is my 120 pound "lap dog".


My husband thinks I'm crazy, knowing when Luke's birthday is and insisting on buying him a special rawhide on his special day. I also insist on telling Luke "Happy Birthday" and encouraging Kelsey to do the same. Luke loves hearing it - he pants and wags his tail, and nuzzles up close to be petted.

My step mom even called and left a voice mail on my cell phone for Luke today - she wanted to wish him a Happy Birthday as well. I put the cell phone on speaker phone and held it near Luke's ear - he got REALLY excited. My husband just shook his head and said "You two are insane."

I don't think we're crazy. Pets are just as important to a family as every other family member. We take them in to our homes when they're very young (Luke was only 5 weeks when I got him), we take care of them, we love them, and they love us in return. I'm not told I'm crazy when I wish my husband, my stepdaughter, or any other family member a Happy Birthday - so why should I be told I'm crazy when I wish Luke Bradley a Happy Birthday??
