My lovely, lovely boy Digital, who has earned the moniker Brindlewonderkid, is 15 years old today. He was my first competition basenji and has been patient and kind to a very novice handler/trainer in the conformation ring, coursing field, agility ring, rally ring and as an incredible therapy dog. And my, what a wild ride all THAT has been! Along the way, he has brought me many many friends that are really more like family and shown me the joy of working as a team with another species.
He is still quite fit, still likes to fence run and flush rabbits. (Of course he's not so much of a threat to them any more.) Some days he even enjoys doing a little mini agility course and still enjoys visiting at the nursing home once a month. He went to the holistic vet a few months ago (he'd started peeing in the house) and Dr Jim could not find anything wrong with him. Nothing out of line, nothing stiff, no aches/pains, just seems his bladder has aged.
So, happy birthday to my wonderful Brindlewonderkid, Digital. I could not have done it with another dog (I did sort of try with Jet). I look forward to seeing what the next 15 bring us.
Congratulations on him turning 15, a milestone. I hope you have many more happy years with him. Our senior citizens bring joy to our lives. 
Happy Birthday oh Brindlewonderkid! May you have more happy ones and continue to provide your humans with lots of love, as I am sure they will to you.
thanks, i should have listed his full name.

Oh gosh, you're right, I did forget his PhD, but you know, I hate to brag :p
Actually, Digital and I are thankful for all the warm wishes. As a special birthday bonus, he will get to miss his hydrotherapy appointment tomorrow.
