Happy 2nd birthday to the dog who ate my couch.
And three ottomans.
And six dog beds.
And nine pillows.
And 27 blankets.
According to the books I've read (i.e., Labrador Retrievers for Dummies, Pocket Edition), tomorrow Sherman will begin to calm down and start acting like an adult. Currently he is running around the house with an old toothbrush in his mouth, scratching up a new wall with each corner he turns, barking and begging for somebody to come chase him. I'm not gonna hold my breath.
Happy Birthday to the best dog I know.
We love you buddy!
Awwww happy birthday!!! Lilys 5th was just on Tuesday!!! The puppy pics make me want another!!!! Sherman was sooo cute!!!!
ReplyDeletehaha. Love that he's running around like a crazy man this late at night. :) And with a toothbrush of course. That might be one of my favorite posts ever ... you brushing his teeth. Happy birthday Sherman! You are my favorite blog dog EVER.
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! he is too cute...though that is a lot of eating!!Happy Birthday to Sherman!!
ReplyDeleteooooooh Sherman. You should just like my pooch! Oh & that couch story ... I seriously tell people about Sherman in the grocery store! Ha. He is such a star!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Sherman! And I hate to break it to you, but if labs are anything like their cousins goldens, don't expect him to calm down for at least another two years. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Sherman!! That first pic reminds me of my old lab Groundhog when he was a pup :)
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Gosh. That photo of him as a puppy is adorable!!!! Hard to believe he was so tiny. Happy birthday, Sherman! xo
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Sherman!! Good thing he is an adorable dog, right?? ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Sherman love!
ReplyDeleteAwww. Been waiting for this post all day! Wanted to wish my favorite dog in blogland happy birthday! Hope he finds lots of good stuff on his walks this weekend. :) Happy weekend friend!
ReplyDeleteBaby Reef says Happy Birthday Sherman!!! Hope you have the best birthday yet!!!
ReplyDeleteoh man he is so dang adorable even if he is rather destrictive with your furniture lol
ReplyDeletea chocolate lab is still my most favorite dog choice too,i am itching to have my own one day.
hope tomorrow he is calmer :)
Happy Birthday Sherman!
ReplyDeleteWe had a chocolate lab. She never calmed down. The only thing that would make her slow her roll was Kraft processed cheese. In the wrapper. Totally weird, but super hilarious.
I think I told you this when Sherman ate the couch, but our Chocolate lab who is now 7 1/2 still acts like a puppy. She is crazy. And so hyper... And once, she ate the siding off of our house... :) Happy Birthday Sherman!
ReplyDeleteOhhh... what a sweet picture!! He's adorable! Happy birthday:)
ReplyDeleteawesome pictures!! I hope he had a great day :)
ReplyDeleteSome dogs never reach adulthood...and we love them for it. Happy Birthday doggie!
ReplyDeleteEeeek! Sherman, you are so stinking adorable!! Happy birthday! Love that one of him in the water. A pool??
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Sherman! Hope your day is filled with all the things you love :)
ReplyDeleteLove those pictures! The hat cracks me up! Sherman you are such a good looking birthday boy. Hope the day was fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Sherman! You are lucky to have such a wonderful family. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Sherman as a puppy was to die for...what a cutie! I mean, he's still super cute, but something about puppies makes my heart melt. Happy Birthday to Sherman!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Chocolate Dog! According to your mom you could probably find your own birthday present. And you should also make your mom aware that you probably won't calm down until about age 5. But that can be our little secret.
ReplyDeletehappy birthday!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Sherman! Kobe will be 4 in October, and as I write this I'm watching him run around the house with one of my socks in his mouth. Good luck with Sherman growing up and acting like an adult. Ha! Yeah, not gonna happen!
ReplyDeleteHe is absolutely gorgeous and my dream dog!! I want one so badly :) Happy Birthday Sherman!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Sherman!!!!! Hope you get to eat whatever you want. Or what your Momma says is acceptable. ;)
ReplyDeleteAwww Happy Birthday Sherman! Let your mommy know that you're no longer going to eat the furniture. You've graduated to more difficult things!!!

What a little cutie! And a stinker it sounds like, reminds me of the movie Marley and Me. I like your blog, Chicago looks like a great place. I've never been but it reminds me a lot New York where I have been. Are you and your sister twins? I was going to try and tell you how I got here but I can't remember! Through a blogger named Wendy who commented on my blog? I am a coffee lover so your blog name jumped out. Was a little disappointed to find no coffee talk but I'm over it : ) You have some great pictures, I don't think you can take too many!
ReplyDeleteaww happy birthday, sherman! we have heard the same thing about the 2 year mark, so we're hoping henry miraculously starts behaving then too (1 yr and 3 months to go...ha)
ReplyDeleteSo precious! Happy Birthday, Sherman!
ReplyDeleteSherman is a beautiful dog, but OH. EM. GEE. That picture of him as a puppy is so ridiculously cute that I don't even have words!! <3
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Sherman! And trust me, that mellow out stage is just slowly beginning in our house and Lilah is almost 4. It'll take more than 2 years. ;)
ReplyDeleteHOW TINY! Adooorable!! Happy birthday!
ReplyDeletewoohoo! Happy birthday Sherman!!!
ReplyDeleteMy brother (who's ex wife used to volunteer at animal shelter's where they train dogs) said most dogs typically calm down after age 3. Soooo we both have another year to go...Walty will be 2 in May. SIGH.
Gotta love them!
Happy Birthday Sherman! He sounds like a fun dog :)
ReplyDeleteawe, what a sweet pup! glad to see you back after your blogging break!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Happy Birthday Sher, may he teach all of us to have the heart of a kid, but know better than to dare eat another couch! haha

Don't let them fool you... our lab was 9 and still had puppy moments. Labs are puppies until the end.

ReplyDeleteI had a black lab (and my mom has had 2) The book is right they are wild and crazy and compulsive chewers until they are about 2. :) Happy Birthday Sherman.
ReplyDeleteI officially missed it but I'm still sending him my love and smooches from Canada xoxoxox <3
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure he was the cutest puppy ever. I mean, he's still cute, but that picture!!! I melt.
ReplyDeleteI find that the cutest ones are the most destructive!
