Very happy 12th birthday to our Toby. 🎉
It seems only yesterday that you came into our lives. 🥰
Your eyes may not be as good as they were although your nose has lost none of its sensitivity so you still try chasing small animals. Hopefully the moustache you now sport helps you feel your way around in the dark when the eyes fail. We are very lucky to have you after the tiger snake bite which caused permanent damage to your teeth and some throat paralysis. We do feel we still have a bit of Callie in you too as she provided blood to aid your recovery. Your doctor also tells us you have developed a heart murmur so we do need to stop you from getting overly excited (yes no more chasing those small animals!) While you can no longer chew bones you still enjoy the odd treat or two and have no problem telling us when there is something in your food bowl you don’t want. Yes you pick it up and spit it out all over the floor, which you have done ever since you were a puppy. Fortunately we now have a few others that operate under the “waste not want not” premise and are happy to clean up after you.
