It's Puppy Wednesday! and it's also Walter's birthday. He's 5 years old, which is hard to believe. He's now the same age as one of the boys next door and all of the little kids here find that to be thrilling.

The boys have done some birthday shopping and also a bit of gift wrapping and they're having a party for Walt after school. Although he's definitely enjoying all of the extra hugs and pats on the head, the handsome border collie has no clue what's going on.

Meanwhile, here are Walt and Daisy on their morning walk yesterday. This was a non-stop activity throughout the entire hike and as you can see by the drop in intensity between the first and second video (and the shift from racing to wrestling) they wore themselves out.

And finally, here's baby Walt, carefully considering which bit of mischief he should get into first.
