Today the Pants turns 9 years old! Ok, maybe not exactly, but we celebrate him today. We got him from a shelter on this day four years ago. By looking at his teeth and other health issues, his vet guesses that he is nine. So today, we celebrate his ninth year of life. Tonight, he will have a burger from one of his favorite restaurants and if all goes well, we hopefully will get a video of him singing happy birthday with us.

To commemorate this wonderful occasion, here’s my favorite pic of Pants from this fall. Here is Pants doing one of his new favorite past times – babysitting. He loves taking care of our friend’s baby. He is quite protective of her, watches over her, and carefully tucks her in over and over until the blanket is to his liking.
