For a large breed dog, 15 is downright ancient. It has always been our goal for Ginko, though. He is officially the oldest dog I’ve ever had. With 3 potentially fatal health conditions, our time with him could be short. Or not. Today? We simply celebrate our handsome, sweet, goofy Old Man! Happy birthday, buddy. Here are 8 GREAT photos of Ginko!
Ginko was the cutest puppy! That’s what Lab + Greyhound looks like.
I don’t have any digital photos of Ginko and our late Dalmatian Penelope Grace. They were together July 2000 until June 2004.
In his prime, he was all MUSCLE, and an amazing hiking buddy.
Ginko has always been snuggly.
And, a great big brother!
Happy Birthday, Ginko!
15 years old!!!!
The oldies are wonderful. They just know everything, and whatever trouble they are – they’re no trouble. It’s a joy to look after them, to give something back to them.
Happy Birthday to Ginko!
What an amazing long life! Happy happy birthday, Ginko!!
He is precious! And 15 – wow!
Happy Birthday, Ginko! <3
Happy happy birthday, Ginko! You look as handsome and distinguished as ever! You’ve had an exciting and fun life with fun fur sisters, and it’s continuing with your latest best buddy Clover!
Happy Birthday, Ginko! He is so stinking CUTE!
Aw, happy birthday Gingko! It’s nice to be able to see the course of nature run in this way — the difficulties of old age and the sadness of departure, yes, but without the stress of a beloved dog taken before her/his time.
Happy Birthday, Ginko! The puppy photo is adorable, but I’m partial to grizzled old muzzles. The sweetness in his expression makes my heart melt.
