Today is Mister Farley's 8th birthday! We're celebrating with homemade doggy treats for all the dogs, a walk with Daisy, and of course with naps as needed (which will be often).
Birthday: April 8, 2000
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Golden - like good honey
A few of Mister Farley's favorite things:
1. Miss Daisy
2. The hedgehog (a squeaky toy)
3. Napping on the couch, or the big chair
4. Coooooookies
5. Every friend he's ever met ... or hasn't met yet
6. Running! Mister Farley LOVES to chase Daisy!
7. Head rubs
8. The brush... yup, that's the spot right there!
9. Presents! Wrapped in tissue, they're just right for rippin' open!
10. More coooooookies!
More about Mister Farley here.
PS: Dixie still hasn't delivered... We wait.

Happy Birthday Mr. Farley!! You like all of the things WE like!! We're just youngster's too. I (Chloe) just turned three in January and Baxter is going to be three in July. As Boxer's we love fun and games and give Mom and Dad a real run for their money. Those head-rubs are the best, and COOKIES.....we LOVE Scoobies! We also have a little hedgehog....Baxter has pretty much claimed it, although he also claimed my pink cellphone, my racoon, etc, etc. I am such a good sister.....he can get away with just about anything because he has high-cute factor!! I'm just beautiful....which goes a long way too!! Welp...wish we were all closer so we could play together....Mom says she needs the computer now, so we gotta go. Big Boxer hugs for your birthday....give Miss Dixie a hug too!!! Love, Chloe and Baxter vms

Mr. Farley and my DH share a birthday! :)
My "baby" had her birthday yesterday - she turned 2...my sweet little Rosie - who is a Cairn! :)
I hope Mr. Farley got more than his fair share of cookies, belly rubs, naps and all that good stuff that a dog NEEDS! :)

Happy Birthday Mr Farley, from Mr Tucker. You're older than me, but just by 4 months. My 8th birthday is August 8th!
I used to love my hedgehog too, until I un-stuffed it and turned it inside out. And then my silly Momma decided to put it on the kitchen counter and take a picture of it; is she silly, or what?
Have a great day. Save me some treats and don't hog all of the doggy/human beds!
Tucker

Happy Birthday, Mister Farley! I personally think you'd look better in a white stetson, but I am only a lowly pedestal polisher. Hope you all have a grand time!

Happy Birthday Mister Farley! What a beautiful boy he is, too!
My husband and I are involved in Gold Ribbon Rescue, based in Austin. We adopted our former foster dog and he's snoozing on the couch as we speak. He's a beautiful red, who came to us with cancer and heartworms. He happy and healthy now and we can't imagine what it would be like without him. A week ago we said a sad goodbye to our nearly 13 year old girl and it's hard to believe she's gone.
What amazing animals....they bring such joy to our lives and are so easy to spoil!!

Pets and critters are the best, I'm so glad you enjoy them, as everyone SHOULD! :D
