Happy Birthday, Clark!
My sweet boy turned 7 today! Can't believe yet! Yes, I still remember when he was just a wee baby not even 6 pounds. He's such a big boy now. So grown up. And all too quickly.
Of course, we couldn't have a quiet birthday. No, shortly before the time we were to pick up my sister (Auntie) from the airport, Clark and Lilo (the Golden Retriever) decided to have a tussle with Clark's foot connecting with Lilo's face. This was at such an impact that Lilo's tooth poked through her lip and Clark had a somewhat deep gash across the top of his foot. Poor Lilo. She wouldn't let Steve or anyone help her, and finally managed to pull her tooth out of her lip. Steve promptly took her to the vet. Of course, I was worried about "the Boy" and took him to the doctor. He didn't need stitches, but the doctor did use surgical strips to help bind his wound together, since it was just deep enough that a normal band-aid probably wouldn't suffice. Although I think that Steve still believes I overreacted about the boy a bit, the dog only needed some antibiotics, so I think he overreacted about the dog a bit. Auntie got picked up a little late, but everything turned out OK in the end.
We were mostly worried that Clark wouldn't be able to bowl at his birthday party, but as you can see he was none the worse for wear. It was pretty cool because it was Cosmic Bowling at Brunswick with many of the lights turned off.
