Nick's birthday today.

Just a quick post to say happy birthday to our dear little dog, Nicholas.   He's 12 years old , a Maltese Terrier and even though I love him dearly, he tries my patience quite often.

He's very close to me and suffers separation anxiety when I'm out of his sight.   He's also getting very deaf.

Because he just wants to be near me, he's always right under my feet and I've tripped over him several times. He gets on very well with one of my cats but doesn't like the other one.  He barks at anyone who comes to the door and some-times at imaginary visitors too.

I have to be honest and say that I love him dearly and he's great company, loves a cuddle and loves to eat too.
