Happy birthday to my Magic-man.   He turns 13 years old today and still brings so much joy around here.  He has really slowed this past year though and has suffered some mini strokes which have left him with some balance issues at times and he is now pretty blind and deaf.  Still he can jump up on my lap and gets in and out just fine.  He knows his limits though and stays "out of the fray" when the other dogs are bouncing off the walls.   My very first and probably last conformation champion as well as my first agility champ (made it all the way through the Excellent/Master classes before retiring).   My sweetie pie!  

Yeah, at an agility event this was taken after our run -  I was out of breath him - not so much.

This was a pro photo done when he was oh a bit over a year old and at the shows in Rapid City.  He got both of his "major" wins at that show and the super cool thing was his breeder was there to see it!

That would be him back there 2nd from the back with his littermates and Momma Sophie!

Taken this past weekend.  He tends to be cold more often now so blankets and jammies are already a favorite even though winter hasn't starated.
