Happy (belated) birthday to you,
Happy (belated) birthday to you,
Happy (belated) birthday, dear
Happy (belated) birthday to yoooooooouuuuuu!
I am certain you are still in the
of your youth. 
marches on, but soon you'll be fine, and walking without a problem. 
This past weekend was an anniversary of sorts for me; 2 years since I was told I was in remission. Having scans next week on the 25th, so hope to obtain confirmation I remain in remission.
My best wishes always to you, Dogster.

lol, nah rhk - that's why I didn't say till it was over. This post has quite enough love from you guys, without adding birthdays. Turning sixty is a particularly juicy horror to endure right in the middle of everything, tho'. When you get old you'll understand. heh. I'm far more focussed on slice, dice and chop day.

I won't sing HB to you, because I'm tone deaf and it would sound awful, but welcome to the 60s. I keep threatening to count my age in hexadecimal (base 16), under that system you're only 3C years old.
"You said a very smart thing a while back. I listened." - I did? I must have been drinking.
Sounds like it's time for some TLC and relaxation. Massage, maybe? Reiki?
"Do you mean those three million thumbnails filling up two laptops and my home computer?" - my sympathy. I still haven't finished sorting the pix from trips several years back.

A Leo feisty and fighting. Hope you had some people in to celebrate with you. Just pretend you got those cookies from me re: AO's recipe.
I celebrate my birthday as long as people will tolerate it, I suggest you do the same. You can never catch up to me anyway.
Cheers

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Dog!!!!! (even if it is a little belated!). Sorry to see you have been dogging through the land of being a patient. Sounds as though you are starting to get the urge to do those tasks non of us ever get around to which will no doubt help you feel like you are moving forward. Keep planning the trips & get well & back on the road soon!!! I always tell my Melb fam & friends when I am a day late with their birthday phone call because I fogot to remember the time line that I am just helping extend the celebration for them! Take care J

>>>Oh, by the way, yesterday was my 60th birthday.<<<
... (and do hope you celebrated most proper with two fun-loving Asian masseuses, quite possibly, less than one-third your age.)
(and 'btw', rather fine 'SQ J fares, ex-MEL', these days. Check 'em out, on singaporeair, and, well, you know where.)
All the best 'd', do hope all your birthday dreams came true, and for all 17 of you fodorites out there (thanks forever, 'Don'), savour those Girls, Forever.

Hi Doggie - congratulations of your 60 years, hope it was a nice day for you. Perhaps a clear out on your 60th is very appropriate. Hope next Wednesday and the following week goes well - will be thinking of you of course. Which hospital? Presumably one of the better privates if you are using the same surgeon. Do you need bones sent in or is their food okay? I imagine we won't hear from you for a few days at that stage - are you allowed to take a laptop to the area you will be in. Friend of mine has just had 2 weeks getting a new pair of knees and after the first few days in one area of no computer use could use her you-beaut iphone to get everything easily. If you have access please let us know how you are doing. Get the nurses to report for you.
Please don't cull this lot of friends.

Well, well, well... I was bored this afternoon and came to Fodor's to find a good Dogster story to cheer me up and discovered this thread. And lo and behold, today is the 26th. Dogster, I sure hope you are in good hands and back on your feet again soon. Best wishes, belated happy birthday and a big hug - because it sounds like you sure could use one.

I've just found time to go back and read a few postings here, and I see that you've just celebrated a BIG birthday! I do hope it went well for you. (somehow I did not think that I was ...ahem... OLDER than you???... but I am)
I'm sending you big puppydog hugs thru cyberspace in hopes that it helps you get well quickly!
We'll meet up in BKK soon, I hope.
