The little piglet turned six today! We celebrated late this afternoon with a run around the park, and a few photos.

Harry’s park duties are varied, but he always executes them with enthusiasm. Today’s main task was to profile the attributes of every passing dog’s butt, and file the details away for future reference. The secret to a well-oiled park community is diligent perimeter control, and Harry takes his self-appointed role of law enforcement very seriously.

He was simply born to fight crime. And birdies.

He also managed to cover three more critical Park Administration duties: 1) the ambitious task of peeing on every blade of grass; 2) disobeying any command that did not immediately benefit him; and 3) rolling in every dusty patch of dirt possible.

(Incidentally, Harry is yet to establish a connection between rolling in the dirt, and the dreaded “bathtime”. I predict that the de-dirting procedure will occur, when he leasts expects it, tomorrow.)

When we came home I cooked him a big bowl of warm chicken, rice and pumpkin, which is his most favourite meal ever. He has now passed out beside me with a big, satisfied, round belly.

So far, being six is pretty good.

Happy birthday, little bug. We love you ♥
