45 in People Years

Today is Mako's 6th birthday (observed)! We don't actually know when Mako was born, just about how old he was when he became ours. I picked November 12 for his birthday and it works pretty good with the rest of our birthdays.

I was curious as to just how old our pet is getting and figured, if there is an online calculator that can tell you how many seconds old you are, there must be a dog to human age calculator...and there is! In fact there's more than one, but this one showed Mako to be 45 years old.

And a senior dog too! Actually he's fortunate to be a mixed breed because the two breeds we assume he's most made up of (German Shepherd and Rotweiller) age even older than that!

By the way, Rob is in 3 of these picture and each time his head is cut out - that was not intentional!

Posing - doesn't Mako's ear look like Annalise's mustache?

A portrait drawn by Caleb - the lines come out of his mouth are his barks directed to our neighbors incredibly tiny dog. My favorite part is Mako's curly tail!

The birthday song! His "cake" was Frosty Freezer Pie. Well a little under half of Frosty Freezer Pie! (Raspberry flavor)

Rob and I laughed so hard I was crying when we saw this picture! He always plays a little rough with Rob!

Present time!
