Happy Birthday Riley!

Riley is officially five-years-old today. 
He gets to share his special day with President's Day. Positive side, his parents have the day off to spend with him.
We would like to share some of the many faces of Riley. There are so many sides to him. This picture seems like it was taken so long ago. (It has been over a year). These were the days when he was the alpha dog and Murphy was just a little round tootsie roll. He was always very sweet and gentle with little Murphy.
There is also the more serious face where he tries to look so mature and noble. Sorry Riley, we know that deep down you are just a fun loving, goof ball.
You can't forget the puppy eyes, look how cute I am. This is tried on us anytime there are treats. I can only imagine the power he had with these puppy dog eyes when he was a puppy. (This almost always works on us.)
Riley is always the first to greet us (partly because Murphy is crated), loves to give Kylee and I kisses, is willing to make a fool of himself by jumping up and down and chasing his tail when we arrive, never plows Kylee over, and is a great protector over her. (Don't ever think about getting too close to Kylee on walks if Riley does not know you, he'll let you know what is on his mind.)

  1. Thanks for Riley's birthday posting...I love the pictures! He had a great 5th birthday...a long walk, a lot of treats, and a special visit from his extended family. I know Riley and Murphy are both looking forward to seeing you and Kylee tomorrow!!
