White Dog is celebrating her Sixth Barkday today! Where has the time gone? And yet so much has changed since December of 2004. I know for certain that life and its experiences would be very very different if Siku Marie was not a part of our family, and my soul. If you read our blog regularly we hope that it is abundantly clear how loved this fluffy, white, big-hearted, independent-thinking Eskie girl truly is.
White Dog and I started our day with our usual ritual…she cuddles against me to waken me and I stroke her face. I tell her I love her, mi perrita blanca de mi Corazon…but today, for the first time ever…we were then bombarded by siblings, the White Dog Army, Quinn, Nuka, and Puff charging in with Steve to bark, “Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday!” and to eat dog treats in bed before breakfast!
Tonight we will party with her favorite foods and family time. This morning she and dad greeted the morning alone, together, at the Park. And in between we will periodically check our comments to read what kindnesses our friends have left…and see how well our Comment-A-Thon is going. Please let us know you have been by (at least once)!
Remember, from now until midnight Wednesday, the 22nd, every comment earns fifty cents in a donation to fund Canine Cancer Research.
Although we had hoped this would honor our friend, Luke, and his victory over the horrible monster, it has turned out that Luke is once again fighting for his life. It is vital that we unite to send the Power of the Paw to him and to work as hard as we can in every realm to eliminate this disease. Too many suffer. Too many loved ones are lost. Please support our efforts by commenting and commenting again and spreading the word. Do it for Luke. Do it for Siku's Birthday. Do it because Cancer.Touches.Everyone.
Happiest of Birthdays, Siku Marie! This is your life:

Hi Siku Marie
We haven't met yet, but any friend of the Luke's is a friend of ours. We are so sad his cancer is getting worse. Thanks for mentioning him on your big day, and Happy White Dog Day, it is wonderful to meet you.

Happy Birthday! Thank you for doing this comment-a-thon. I think it is a wonderful way to celebrate your birthday and supporting dogs with cancer. Warm wishes to Luke and to you!
Happy White Dog Day!

Happy Birthday Siku!
HAPPY WHITE DOG BARKDAY> We'll celebrate here because we celebrate every new day (we don't really need a reason but it's nice to have one). We've lighted a Christmas candle for our blog buddy The Luke and asked all of our friends to invoke The Power of The Paw on his behalf. We're all praying for The Luke and also for his mom, Ms. Amanda. These are special souls going through a difficult time. Thank you for your focusing attention on canine cancer. We've lost 3 siblings, Penny, Chance and Gordon, to this terrible affliction. Let's all pray for The Luke while we celebrate the White Dog's Barkdat.

Happy 6th Barkday, Siku Marie,
We just watched your beautiful Barkday video and now we know you even better! Mom and I are so happy to have found your White Dog Diary this month!
As new friends we haven't read very many days of your diary, but as an only dog I especially liked the first one we read, on December 15th, about how the White Dog Pack is learning to share.
Please keep sharing, and we'll keep reading! Enjoy the last hours of your special day, and the Christmas holidays and New Year ahead.

Thanks for the nice comments. You must have missed the Moosie news, it's here: Moosie Update
Hi Siku! So I had to show the kitties your slideshow when we got home and Virgil was mesmerized by how beautiful you were in all your pictures! And the cats don't usually pay attention to anything other than meowing coming from the computer, so that is a high compliment! And we are so excited at how many of the CB cats came by - we hope you get lots more comments!!
Sending birthday wishes and good cheer as you celebrate your birthday. This is so nice that you are having a commentathon.
Wishing many more birthdays to come filled with love and happiness.
Khyra's Cousin Abby from Phoenix here!

I had a Golden Retriever sisfur named Sierra - she crossed almost five years ago now - I miss her furry much -
Khyra shares many of her furiends blog posts with me so I was glad to join and wish you a GREAT Birthday!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Siku! We are long time readers, but rarely comment. You do sooo much good with your blog - sharing, donating, helping - more than most people. We remember the little white puff that Sue and Stephen brought home... and now the "older" sister to others. We have watched you grow and can't imagine life without you. Love to you and your family. Another post to help your cause. :) - Love, Candace, Gregg, and the Honorary White Dog -Dragon
