OMDOG!! Today is the LAST day I will EVER be 9 years old!!

GUYS...Today is the very last day I will ever be 9 years old for the rest of my LIFE?! GUYS!? Tomorrow I will be TEN! Double Digits! the BIG 1-0!! Holy cow, I am kind of freaking out over here...

Joey Palooza starts TOMORROW! I hope you guys have plenty of treats and toys and excitement to party right on through the weekend and into Monday!!!

Since Dad was not TOTALLY BLESSED to have my Mom during my first year (she who types gets to kinda say whatever she wants here) there are NO puppy pictures of me. A complete travesty right??

In honor of my last day as a nine year old, I would like to show you for the FIRST TIME the oldest known photo of me, Joe Stains..

the oldest known photo of Joey it is dated 7/00
I am about a year and a couple of months here, can you BELIEVE how cute I am?! SERIOUSLY?! I am eating a rawhide chew, one of the ones that helped me get my name Joe Stains. They had a delicious beefy basty goodness on the outside and I would always make Stains on my Gram and Gramps bed with them. Now we are not allowed to have rawhide thanks to the DOOFUS swallowing them whole. ANYWAY, please enjoy my CUTENESS and then before you know it, it will be time for JOEY PALOOZA!!!!!!!

Joe!

I wouldn't think you were a day over 3! I honestly had no idea you were so OLD. But hey, 10 has it's advantages... Now that you're a senior, maybe your humans will give you more treats for less tricks... Maybe you'll even get another rawhide bone just like the one in that picture!!

Can't wait 'till tomorrow! Happy Birthday, man!

Joey, I can't imagine being two-digits old...wow!! (I guess being 10 months old doesn't count). Congratulations on making it!!

I can't believe Tanner swallows his rawhides whole. He's the man!

So you've been eligible for that senior-citizen discount for a while huh? I had no idea. Josie's grandma Emmy is 9, too, and she'll be the big 1-0 on St. Patrick's Day.
Maybe I should set you two up!


Love,
Rudy

Joe Joe Joe!

Can't believe Joey Palooza has already rolled around again! We are ready to celebrate in GooberStan, man! You SO don't look like a senior citizen, and even though you are head-splittingly cute in your first known baby photo, you have a rugged cuteness about you now that is very endearing.

So, before Joey Palooza begins are you going to give Tanner that smooch from me or what?

Goober love & early Palooza smooches,
Stanley

Joey Palooza! Yeah! We are excited beyond words! Since you are going to be double digits, does that mean we have to start referring to you as Mr. Stains??? Our parents said we should show respect to our elders...

Oh, Pee Ess, Happy Birthday Joe, uh, er, Mr. Stains!

I think being ten years old sounds really cool! I know you're one of the smartest dogs on the internet (with the best name, of course) so maybe that means I'll get smarter every year, too.

Your pal,
Joey

Joey, being 10 looks GOOD on you! I can't believe it's your barkday!!

This is my first experience EVER with Joey-Palooza... I am putting on my party hat and calling around getting prices for KEGS! WOOHOOO!

DOUBLE DIGITS!!!! Oh please say it isn't so. That means my mom will be crying all day with your mom tomorrow. My mommy just hates double digits. Ok is there anyway you can just stay 9 forever? Can that happen?? Come on Stains work with me. Double digits don't go over well in my house!!!
On the lighter side....you are as cute today as you were when you were one! But you are smarter now that you have all that detective knowledge under your badge. Happy Birthday.
Smooches,
Willow

Joey,

We think you are ageless -- particularly after turning 10.

We were just looking at one of your look-alikes on the Crufts show -- and you would have beaten him paws down!!!


Happy Barkday, pals, and many many more!!
