Happy 10th Birthday CB!

So today, January 15 is CB's birthday. I got him from the humane society in Greenville, SC when he was 10 weeks old. I counted back 10 weeks and 1/15/2005 became his birthday. Tonight we have some special celebrations planned.
The day CB came home with me, I remember like it was yesterday. I just don't remember him being so small and spunky. But I renamed him, because I could never have a "Rusty" in my house.
Full of awkward intensity since 2005.
After living briefly in South Carolina, we moved to Mexico for a few years. Then all the way to San Francisco. CB loved SF and running around Chrissy Field. We are convinced when he is dreaming, with paws twitching, that he is dreaming about running free in Chrissy Field.
In California, he also visited wineries.
In 2011, we moved to Chicago.Along the way we stopped at the oddities on route 66- such as the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, TX. He had a blast running around without his leash!
Sometimes he would even dress up to go to "work."
Other times, we weren't sure what he was up to.
He experienced his first blizzard in 2011, and has pretty much hated the snow ever since.
He never likes to cuddle.And always shakes off after I scratch him.
He even has an imaginary friend....
He makes our small family complete.
And he brings me so much joy.
Seeing him happy melts my heart.
He's been my running buddy for a long long time.
He loves Fido to Go and "helping"out in the truck sometimes.
We cannot wait for Frisbee season again.
I seriously cannot believe I've had CB for almost 10 years, almost a 3rd of my life.
Happy Birthday little bear dog! I love you!
