IT'S OBAZ's 17TH BIRTHDAY!!!

OBAZ is our family dog. He's a Cairn Terrier, like Toto, only twice as big. 27 pounds. I never wanted a dog. I was raised in a housing project where dogs weren't allowed. So if I felt like I needed an animal, I made one (the only cleaning up was done by mother after I made a mess making the puppet!) But when Gabriel and Olga made me take a look at this guy, that was it. It was as if I always knew him.

Gabriel (L) and Obaz, his first morning home.

Here are a bunch of pictures, from the most recent (below, stuck between his "ice floe" and the couch) to little bitty Obaz from long ago. How did the 17 years get here so quickly?


Here's sniffin' at YOU, pup.
