| Me and Gator, The Malinois |
His birthday was yesterday, and he made a list of ten reasons why he believes he shouldn't be here, most are death defying feats.
My guest blogger today is Gator, the Malinois. Please follow the link and like him on Facebook!
Take it away, Gator!
Today is my 10th birthday! I'm amazed I've made it to this age. In honor of my age, here are 10 reasons why I should not be here:
- I jumped into a large, very fast, very cold river at 10 weeks old. My person had to jump in, swimming hysterically to catch me.
- I bit that same person of mine over a chicken breast at around 1 year old. If you've met her, you'd know why I was lucky to survive.
- I broke my upper canine tooth and part of my jaw at 1.5 years old. The recovery meant absolutely no biting of things. This nearly killed me.
- I've eaten LOTS of things that I shouldn't have.
- I've run into, under and through even MORE things that I shouldn't have.
- I've broken bones playing fetch. Consequently, I'm no longer allowed to play fetch. I'm told this is because I "lack self preservation", but this still makes me very sad.
- I've been kicked/hit/slung around and generally beat up by lots of people. But, I mean, I was biting them. So... Meh... Totally worth it.
- I seized an opportunity with an unmanned, open bag of dog food. Carpe foodem. It was delicious... ALL of it! I also bloated and nearly died. Again, totally worth it.
- Pretty sure I should have been arrested by animal control on a few occasions.
- I tried to jump off a 12-foot rooftop one time. Details of how I ended up on said rooftop are irrelevant.
Thank you, Gator!
Now, I open the floor for questions. Please ask questions so you will know why Benjamin came to be!
