Fifteen!
We have another party going on here. We now have a FIFTEEN year old among us! Yessireee, our beloved pup Hodgie turned 15! It really seems like yesterday that my husband brought him home as a surprise for our first Christmas together. We were newlyweds and living in Monterey, CA. Hodgie is a CA dog and was born around the San Jose area. Now he is one of the many boyz in this household.
To celebrate our Hodge Podge’s birthday, I rounded up a few pictures. First I have one taken when he was just a year old. Complete with a yellow duck barrette (oh the things I used to put him through in his early years, obviously before kids!). The final picture was taken on his 15th birthday.
Happy Birthday, Hodgie! Oh, and Hodgie says he needs a little help from you. He’s asking you to give your dogs and cats -and other furry friends- a big pat and hug from him! Thanks for stopping by Hodgie’s online birthday party!

HAPPY BITHDAY HODGIE!!! Your humans love you man.
Best wishes and congratulations to you. You have taken good care of him. Hodgie still looks good. No sagging or balding. Could I please be a dog in my next life! BTW, I have a border collie mix that turned 15 last May. She is still amazing.

Awww Sweet! Our Pugs about 7 or 8 and he is my two Sons dog,

Its really funny. He goes every where they do and does all that they do.
I have to sometimes hide the dog when they go out so he dosent cry at the front door! Hodge what a cute name..he is just beautiful Cindy!!
What a sweet face! Happy birthday Hodgie and I will give my pups a hug for your birthday. Promise.
Happy Boneday Hodge oops I meant birthday! He looks like a Tibetian terrier, is he?
Love his look.
Super sweet! I miss having a furry one in our house. But our lives are so full that it wouldn’t be fair. My Madison was around 14 years old when he died. He was our baby before we had babies! Such a sweet shot of all of you in blue.
Enjoy the day, Cindy!

Happy Birthday Hodgie. Oh I love on my dogs all the time! They are the best friends I have. I’ve had Scotties since 1989. I have three right now. Fiona is 10 1/2 (oh I hope she makes it to her 15th too), Frodo is 7 1/2, and Arwen is 6 1/2. I love having a senior dog here. Fiona snuggles with me & is happy to lay next to me with my hand on her tummy
(Late to the party again!)

He so reminds me of my late beloved Foobie. Such a teddy bear. Sadie, my Shih Zhu sends her birthday wishes to Hodie. She thinks he’s a cutie pie.
Hi Cindy! Well you know how I feel about your little guy turning 15, that is soooo wonderful. That is a long and happy life for a doggie! And what a great hope to grow up in. Didn’t know you were from CA, very fun. Wish you were still here girl. Thanks for swinging by and leaving me some great feedback, those bling necklaces are pretty fun! Take care, have a great Sunday.
