happy 5th birthday jinx puppy!

It really just feels like yesterday that Jinx arrived in our lives all tiny and fluffy. Jinx turning 5 today means that in 4 months we'll have been married for 5 years. Wow. Time sure flies and a hell of a lot of things have happened in those 5 years.Our baby turns 5 which is hard to get in our heads. He still acts very puppy-ish and has the same puppy expressions he had at 4 months old. Heck, we still CALL him Jinx Puppy.Timid, good natured, hater of everything squirrel and a great soccer player, that's our Jinx.Some said that naming him such would cause us nothing but trouble but they were wrong. Aside from the Chewing & Digging Year (which we thankfully spent living with my in-laws so he got all of that out of his system then!) Jinx has been a wonderful dog. He's gentle and inquisitive, and really, unless you are a squirrel, he won't ever show any aggression. He really, really hates those squirrels though.And now Jinx is two years away from being considered a senior in the dog world. I can't imagine Jinx ever seeming like a senior citizen, he's still got way too much puppy in him.Big ol' milestone this 5th birthday.And next week I have to live with the fact that my Annabelly is turning 12! Where does the time go??
