Poor Toby got cheated in the special day department. His birthday falls near Christmas, and his Gotcha Day is on Valentine’s Day. He ends up sharing his celebrations with other events instead of having a time all to himself.
Sympathy gifts might help me feel better. I like tennis balls, stuffies and treats. (I wouldn’t say no to a pot roast, either.)
This is a picture of Toby arriving home for the first time. You can see in Geordie’s body language, he is saying, “Please, Grandma, get me out of this!”
Seriously. What is that thing? A hamster?!?
Can you find the teeny tiny puppy hidden in this picture?

Awww, Happy Gotcha Day, Toby!! Hershey barks: Hold out fur that potted roast!!
Thanks for the encouragement, Hershey!
Best Valentine ever! So adorable. Happy Val-gotcha Day, Toby!
Val-gotcha day… I like that!
Remember Toby, when your special days coincide with the usual holidays, you are entitled (under Dog Rule #36) to double the number of presents and treats!
Woo hoo! I’m gonna remind mom of that every time one of my holidays comes around! – Toby
Happy Gotcha Day!
Thank you so very much! – Toby
Happy Gotcha’ Day, Toby! I’m so so SO glad you and your Mom found each other AND adopted each other! 🙂 ❤ You were THE bestest valentine, ever! ❤
Coop said if you get a pot roast can he come and share? And he said if he gets one you can come and share with him! 😉
HUGS!!! 😉
Sigh, so far the pot roast is only a dream. We had tilapia and green beans last night. Any word on a real pot roast, though, and I’ll be sure to post! – Toby
Happy Gotcha Day, Toby!
Cute pictures. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Since you love dogs, I wanted to let you know that I’m offering a FREE electronic short story titled, ‘Puppy Love’ via Amazon right now. https://amzn.to/38sB7VN
This is the synopsis:
Like her name, Candy is a sweet six-year-old dog who never imagined life without her beloved human. When she finds herself up for adoption, she learns about the dark past plaguing the dog in the neighbouring kennel; hardships she hadn’t contemplated.
In this heartwarming short story, a dog’s point of view uniquely illuminates the human experience of overcoming hardship and heartache, establishing friendship, and the virtue of loyalty.
Have a good day!
All the best,
Amber
Happy Gotcha Day, Toby! I remember Geordie’s journey through becoming a brother.
Thanks, Unca’ Pip! I hear that Geordie has cursed me from the other side, wishing that I would some day have a little brother too. Mom says, “No way!” -Toby
