  1. 🎉🎈HAPPY BIRTHDAY REUBEN!!!!
    ❤ Thanks for sharing Reuben, he never fails at making me smile!!!!
    😆 But could you tell him to quit giving my Sweet Pea legal advice, I can’t count how many complaints she has against us!!!!

    God Bless from Georgia ❤️🐶

  2. 💗😇💗 Oh my love, my silly Roo, it seems I've loved you forever. From RTB: "Sleeping Locomotive," "Throws a Tantrum," "Playtime," "And The Bad, Bad Bed" & "Playing on his new Mat." These were when you first stole my heart. And I haven't been the same since.💗
    I watched you grow from an only months old pup to the royal, regal, handsome age of ten. You & your dear family got me thru a lot pup. The loss of both of my parents & both of my sons going off to college. Then you helped me adjust to being an "Empty Nester." You truly did. And so much more. Each time I look at your handsome white face, I wonder where the years have gone & what I would have done without you & your loveable, VERY special Mom & Dad, whom I also love so much.💗
    So thank you Roo (& Mike & Carol), for the joy, the endless tears rolling down my face laughter… right out loud & all the love.
    I love you pup. You know I do. I always have & will forever. 🎉Happy 10th Birthday🎉 to my very special one & only, my sweet silly love, my Roo.💗X😇O💗X🥰O💗X😇O💗

  3. Ah…Mike and Carol…Reuben's loyal 'Throne Maintenance Team". Wishing Reuben many more years – Happy Birthday. Have one of Wilmington's top bakeries bake a grand custom-made birthday cake for all the Melnottes and even Reuben to partake of. Cute hat on Reuben.
