The Three Jacks

It’s hard to believe Beanie is 12 years old today.  I adopted him when he was 8 months old.   Bean is such a super good dog and he is my heart dog.

Let's Play Ball

Beanie loves to play ball, splash in his swimming pool, dig for worms, walk in the woods, play in the hose, and boss the other Jacks around!  Though he suffered an injury when  he was about 2 years old that left him without the use of his left front leg, that didn’t slow him down much.

Age has began to slow Beanie down some, and he has arthritis now.  He still plays hard in his pool, and pushing around his big blue ball.  And he definitely still likes bossing the other dogs around!

Each day with Bean is a celebration and today on his 12th birthday he will have an extra special day – swimming in his pool, a walk in the woods, a trip to the store for a new toy, and we’ll stop and get some ice cream.

As I see him struggle a little more to get up each the morning, and notice that he naps a whole lot more than he used to I know that our time together is winding down.  I can’t really imagine life without Bean, I just know that there will be a huge hole in my heart.

Happy Birthday my Beanie Boy, I love you!
