Elvis Turns 5 Today




Today is Elvis' 5th Birthday, which makes him the same age as me in dog years. As head of our Homeland Security Department, Elvis has successfully thwarted over 150 attempted mailman attacks since October. Thanks to Elvis, the mailman had still not been able to enter the house through the mail slot to this day. Elvis conducts his daily surveillance from the back of the couch. He watches every move the mailman makes as he tries to enter the other houses on the block. Once the mailman comes up the walkway, Elvis flies into a near blood boiling rage, causing Lucy to do the same. Together, their barking deters the mailman from hatching his diabolical plan of slipping through the mail slot and into the house. Perhaps out of frustration, the mailman slips some papers through the slot and then leaves, only to return again the next day. Elvis and Lucy then shred the paper envelopes to pieces. Elvis has still yet to figure out what the mailman does on Sunday.

Elvis has really been the greatest dog. He's really social, loves people and parties. He's great around other dogs and has been especially great lately around Evan. The minute we brought Evan home Elvis gave him kisses on his head. Dogs must know. Elvis lives with his half sister/ love of his life, Lucy. Happy Birthday little buddy.
