#52 PUPPY - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SCOOTER SUBLIME

#52 PUPPY - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SCOOTER SUBLIME

August 24, 2019

A Day of Many Occurrences. A Day When One Particular Occurrence Mattered

 

Things were happening that summer August Saturday.

 

The Seattle Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Chargers 23 to 15. Yes! They won! Okay, it was preseason, but Seattle Seahawks won.

 

And, oh, a particular miniature Goldendoodle puppy was born. Happy Birthday, Puppy!

 

On that 2019 August 24th day.

 

The teaser for the Netflix series “Breaking Bad” broke. Practically EVERYONE has watched that show. I haven’t.

 

On that day, that summer Saturday, a blind, black-nosed, flat-faced Goldendoodle pup was born sporting sixteen toes, pink paw pads, four dewclaws, ears, eyes, privates, and tail all in the right places. His legs were hilariously brief, his tummy very round, and his thick fur the color of a ripe apricot.

 

Happy Birthday little nameless pup! So glad you were born!

 

Every August 24th, Ukraine celebrates Independence Day. May there be many more, many more.

 

Can you believe this?

On August 24, 2019, while the Doodle pup was rolling into reality, an astronaut, while she was in space was accused of stealing the identity of her estranged wife. Unfairly, it seems to pan out. Does American law apply in zero gravity?

 

Don’t miss this: Every year, and this year is no exception, August 24th is National Waffle Day.

 

When the pup was born, only thirty days remained before the beginning of Fall; only 76 days before November 8, 2019, the day nine-week old, Scooter Sublime became a Pine.

 

Happy 3rd Birthday Today, Scooter Sublime Pine! Happy Third Birthday!

10-week old Scooter Sublime

Learning his way around

Then, he was two . . .

And today he is three! Happy Birthday, Scooter Sublime!
