Happy Birthday Roscoe!

So you're probably wondering who in the world is Roscoe. Well...over a year ago I was a bit down wondering how long my dog would live so my feelings took over and I wrote this post called Mans best friend,how much do you grieve after ones death .

When I wrote it the first draft was pretty bad as far as my spelling and the wording so I didn't want to alter it too much just so you can see it was written from the heart. If you want to read a good story that has brought tears to many eyes...then you should take the time to read it.

To this day .....I'm still receiving comments....I think there is around 185 the last time I checked so I had to disable the comments for a while as it was becoming harder and harder to reply.

Most dogs don't live as long as he but as of today he is still alive and thankfully made it to the big 17! He can still get around most of the day and then at night he seems to sleep more.

Lately I've been getting the feeling he might not have much left but we still try to enjoy him and make him feel happy and comfortable.

I just wanted to take the time to shoot this short video in celebration of my friend and trusted pet Roscoe.

Happy Birthday Roscoe......your a good ole boy!

Please see this short video.

Wow! 17 is an amazing age for a dog. My dog 'Chanel' just turned three, I hope I have her with me that long!

Happy Happy Birthday Roscoe!!!!!

Now this... makes me smile:-) Happy B-Day Mr. Roscoe.

I'm sure that Roscoe has had the best 17 years that you could have ever imagined. I hope that you have many more years to celebrate with him!

Sundance sends Happy 17th Birthday wishes to Roscoe! Hope he enjoyed the biscuit and had a great day.

Hey Roscoe..... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!! Hang in there.....Neal. We just got back with Quinn our Min Pinn that will be 17 around Thankgiving. We took her to our soccer/ball park and walked the track. She walked about 1/2 mi rode in the stroller the other mi and loved every min of it. So hopefully we will be able to celebrate her 17 like you and the rest of Roscoe's family and frends have..... Proud to see things going as well as they are.....again HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSCOE!!!!!!

Happy Birthday, Roscoe. What a gift that is, to have a pet for that long. You are blessed.

Happy Birthday Roscoe! A birthday gift wrapped in toilet paper! Now there's a rockin' idea :) My hubby's b'day is tomorrow - I'll have to use TP for his gift too. haha

Heppy Birthday, Roscoe.

It is so hard when your pets reach an age when daily living becomes more obviously a struggle. Roscoe is clearly in a loving home and I wish him the best. Hope he enjoed the biscuit!!

Neal, I don't know if you knew this about me but I am a HUGE dog lover. Didn't know dogs got be 17. Happy Birthday Roscoe. You are real blessing to Neal and family. Enjoy him while you've got him Neal. Thanks for sharing the video.

Awww..that was so cute Neal! I sure would like to see more videos...you do good with that thing!

Oops...Happy Birthday Roscoe!!!!!

Neal, I haven't been blessed to have any of my pet children with me that long, but I know how I've loved them and couldn't imagine a day without them "til it happened. It doesn't get easier with age either. I have 3 dogs: Buddy is 13, Kenai is 11 and Bingo is 10. I alos have a cat, Caleigh that's 5. Somedays my heart is already breaking for the limited years I have left with them , so I really do know how you are feeling. Just loving each day that comes is the ony thing you can do.

It's apparent that you love and care for Roscoe wonderfully for him to have had this long life wih you. Keep doing what you doing.

Give him a good pet and tell him we all said happy birthday!

( have you read the poem "Rainbow Bridge")

Warning, it could make you cry, but it is so sweet. I hope it's EXACTLY how it will be too.

happy birthday Roscoe.

Awwww..... This is awesome! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSCOE!

My dog died in my arms 2 and 1/2 years ago. I do not think I will ever get over it.

Ann

Wow! Happy Birthday! All I can say is...Wow! Thanks Tom Davis World Class Delaware Realtor

Neal- Our first dog lived to be 17. His birthday was August 23.

Our First Dog He was our first son. To understand the position he held in our family, our favorite line was:

"He not only didn't know he was a dog, he didn't know he was adopted."

We got another schnauzer, the year after he died. He lived to be 16.

In both cases, we were lucky to have pets who lived to ripe old ages, but my husband said, he couldn't go through losing another dog.

Happy Birthday, Roscoe!

Neal, this was sweet. Roscoe looks like a doll baby!! Happy birthday Roscoe!! I've only had a dog for 4 weeks and I don't know how I ever managed without him. Enjoy him little brother.

Neal- Rosco looks pretty good....Happy Birthday to him, and glad you all got to share it together :)

Happy Birthday Roscoe!

I guess my video experiments are working pretty good...Roscoe says thank you to all..he will now have another biscuit for you!:))

Neal...

It's amazing how big a part of our lives our pets are. I think it's because they depend on us and give unconditional love! Thanks for the touching post, it's nicer than the one yesterday!

Richard,

I know about the loss of Karen and didn't want to take away from that ....but also the feeling of joy during these times helps heal the other feelings.

Roscoe is so cute. You are lucky to have been able to love him for so long!

Happy Birthday Roscoe! Harley Kitty celebrated her 15th in June :) and as spry as a kitten! (her 3 bros and sisters keep her like that!)

Neal I am not a pet person, but I do understand how close pet owners are to their pets, and after 17 years Roscoe has to be just like one of the family. He looks like a tough little guy, and I hope you and enjoy and cherish every minute that you have left with him.

WOW! I can only hope that my boy lives that long. I think that is the longest life I have heard of from a dog. Congrats Neal!

WOW!!

17 is alot in dog years!! Happy Birthday Roscoe!! My english bulldog, Bruno is 8 and that is old for the bulldog breed. Good luck

Tinker

Neal, You are very lucky to still have Roscoe with you after 17 years. Happy Birthday Roscoe!

I'm just trying to make him comfortable with the time he has left...some days I never know and he is better or worse...I'm just hoping he can still enjoy time

Happy birthday Roscoe! Here is another present for you!

There is no question that you have a happy & pampered life! I am sure he is grateful for every day as part of your family!

Happy Birthday Roscoe!!!!!

Neal, He looks to be in pretty good shape for 17. I know of a Norwegian Elkhound that lived to be 20!!

Happy Birthday Roscoe - and Neal - thanks for posting this - I have been wondering - we talked about him a lot one afternoon....

Hi Neal, Your Roscoe is a sweetie. My first dog Dessie lived till 15 1/2 which is pretty good for a Shepherd Husky Lab. it was so traumatic losing her. Bella is 7 next week. We adopted here at 4 1/2 so i feel shortchanged already. Shoot now I'll be a bad Momma if I don't do a b'day blog...

Happy Birthday Roscoe!
