Miles turned 3 years old on Monday. He remains one of the strangest (and most hilarious) creatures I've ever met. Here is a list of some of the things that make Miles unique:
1. If I am playing piano, he is laying on my feet. I'm not sure if it's the music he loves, or just that he wants to be close to me, but he insists upon this every time.
2. He loves his toys, but desperately wants to share them. We call it his Toy Parade when he picks up his "baby" and proudly carries it all over with his tail wagging, stopping in front of each person in the room to make sure they have a good look.
3. He'll only eat if we're in the room with him.
4. He likes fruits and vegetables, and is a known garden vegetable thief. Last summer he ate ALL of my cucumbers.
5. He prefers to sleep upside down.
6. It is his life's greatest mission to snuggle into your neck. And that's still not close enough.
7. He is very unsettled when Eric is gone at night, especially if the blinds are open. He will circle the room over and over, as if he's keeping watch.
8. Our kids have pulled his ears and tail, stuck their fingers in his eyes and mouth, hit him, kicked him, and even knocked him in the stitches after his neuter, and the sweet guy seems to love them all the more for it. He just adores our children, and watches over them. In the backyard, he "babysits" and won't let them more than a few feet from him.
9. He winks. I swear! Eric and I both see him wink at us all the time.
10. His howl sounds exactly like the mourning dove that lives outside our window. At times, it's almost impossible to tell who is talking to us!
At Nolan's insistence, we made him a pup-cake for his birthday and sang to him. It took him about a half hour to eat one measly pup-cake, as he insisted on licking off every bit of the peanut butter frosting first. Life would certainly be less interesting without the ridiculous antics of our spotted anxiety-ridden clown dog. Happy Birthday, buddy. We love you.
