Happy Birthday, best boy! Here are nine things I love about you.
• The way you quietly, patiently stare at a closed door you need me to open — like the
living room slider when you need to pee, or the bathroom door, so you can have a drink out of the toilet.
• Your gorgeous, flowing ears, that blow in the breeze on the beach, and naturally crimp when you shake out after swimming in the ocean.
• When I’m lying on the floor, doing my stretches, how you vigorously lick my scalp as if it tastes like the most delicious chocolate ice cream cone, and slurp my skin when there’s something tasty on it, like sunscreen . . . or sweat . . . or Biofreeze.
• Your gorgeous, snow-white, fleecy chest.
• The way you eagerly, confidently trot up to anyone walking by our spot on the beach, dropping your ball at their feet, eyeing them sweetly, beseechingly — then looking down at the ball, then up at them again, maybe nudging the ball a little bit closer with your nose — until they finally get the freaking idea and throw the ball for
you to fetch.
• Your gorgeous, proud, plume of a tail, held high, waving like a flag.
• How you know the (few) times you’re not coming with me by the things I carry (like my water bottle, for biking) or the clothes I put on (my corduroy jacket for going out at dinner time) and hustle upstairs, with no fuss or bother, to keep lookout at the loft window.
• Your gorgeous, sparkling-with-intelligence, big black eyes.
• That you’re up for absolutely anything, any time, at the drop of a hat, as long as we’re going together.
