My lil furball turns 5 (ish)!

This past weekend was Jakes 5th birthday (or so we think). Basically it's the day we adopted him. The vets think he was either close to 1 or around one when they found him in Virginia and we drove 3 hours in a storm to the smallest town in the world (the blink and you will miss it place).
(Side note : Wow...just realized how many state our lil guy has been through! 15 states! over 2 cross country moves!)
He was my first birthday gift from Geoff and my best one too! I wish I still have the first picture of Jake from Petfinder. He looked soooo scruffy! He had been wandering for awhile and they caught him right after the flooding in Richmond. We jokingly call him our little hobo!
So for what Geoff calls his best birthday ever....we took him on the boat. Just him. No other pups. And boy did he love it (ok not the swimming in the ocean part as much....but the wind in his face and the birds flying around...he loved it!!)
(notice the awesome anchor leash under the scary looking pinch collar...aka the only way to control this lil man on a walk!)
My lil guy eating his birthday cookie!

His friend Badger helped him celebrate too. You try putting a party hat on a dog!!

He is absolutely adorable! I love all of his markings. There's just something so rewarding about adopting.

Happy Birthday to Jake!
