This is Jake. He turned 11 today.

In truth, we’re not entirely sure what his birthday is. They told us it was in January, so we picked the eighth because Elvis and Bowie share this birthday, too. Why not.

Last year around Thanksgiving we thought we were going to lose him. He was very, very sick, cirrhotic and jaundiced as a result of a serious liver infection. But thanks to a vet who is at least ten times more awesome in every way than every doctor I’ve ever had, he’s still here and going strong.

Happy birthday, old buddy.
