Today is Freighter’s third birthday.

Happy Birthday Freighter

I asked Freighter what he wanted for his third birthday.  He thought about it and said “some birds to retrieve”.  Then he thought a little longer and said “SNOW”.

Ah the simple things make a dog happy.

But Freighter it is not even Thanksgiving.  I doubt we will get snow for your birthday.

Next thing you know we got some snow.  Not crazy snow like some places in the country, but enough.  Then we got some more and since I took these pictures, we got even more.

Freighter got his wish!

He had a blast romping around it in and got a little exercise too.  One of his favorite things is to zoom around the yard in the snow and of course play with the kong.

Not to be outdone Thunder and Storm also got out for some fun and exercise.

We would like to thank Easy for the cute birthday card that he sent to Freighter.  Easy is a great pal.  He is nursing a hurt dew claw and his dad has been sick in and out of surgery and in and out of the hospital and he was still kind enough to remember Freighter’s birthday.  Thank you Easy.

Next week we are off so hubby can do some deer hunting.  I am taking Monday and Tuesday off from the blog, but I have a few fun posts scheduled starting Wednesday, including a Thanksgiving edition of the Barks and Bytes hop.  Be sure to stop by and see what Storm is cooking up for Thanksgiving!

Many thanks too SlimDoggy, MyGBGV Life, and To Dog with Love for the FitDog Friday Blog Hop!

Note:  The Linky tool was acting wonky yesterday and it looks like it continues today.  Hopefully the Linky people will work out the bugs soon.

Have a wonderful weekend!

  1. Happy, happy third birthday, Freighter! So happy you have some of the white stuff. It is a blast to play in, isn’t it. I don’t think a dog ever outgrows the love of snow! Enjoy your day!

  2. Happy 3rd Birthday, Freighter!! We’re happy for you that your wish came true!! Have fun in the snow!!

  3. I always love seeing dogs actually playing with kongs! Barley’s kong is a receptacle for peanut butter, and that’s it. She’ll retrieve it if she sees me getting out the peanut butter, which sometimes leads to her accidentally dropping it in her excitement and causing it to bounce, but if there’s no peanut butter, she’s not chasing it! Freighter makes it look so much more fun!

  4. Happy Birthday, Freighter!! You were so lucky to get some birthday snow, and it looks like you sure had a lot of fun in it!

  5. How nice freighter got what he wanted for his birthday. Your dogs are so cool that they love the kong so much, mine only like to lick stuff out the inside. Storm is looking really good for a spayed female, you want to take on Nellie for a bit?

  6. Freighter got his wish….Happy Birthday Freighter! It looks like he enjoyed himself immensely, and so did Thunder and Storm – great action photos!

  7. Happy Birthday Freighter we’re really glad you got your wish. Can’t believe you are 3 already. Have tons of fun 🙂

  8. I’m glad Freighter got his wish. (Minus the birds I mean.) Sampson loves playing with the Kong too, he loves the way it bounces.

  9. Sorry I missed this post last week! I hope Freighter had a GREAT birthday! And…I hope you have a great hunt and a very Happy Thanksgiving.

  10. Wow your wish came true! How great is that? I will chase all the birds and the ducks in your direction, hope you will get some :o)
