Today is Fortis' 3 month ampuversary!!!!! I'm not sure he knows though. He gets treated as if everyday is a ampuversary, birthday, dog day etc.... SPOILED. Hey, he deserves it. 
You guys are the best. I don't know how we would have made it this far without you. This is such a kind and caring community.

WooHoo Fortis! Love those ampuversaries. Each one is super special. Hope you guys celebrate many, many more. Fortis sounds a bit like Trouble in the 'spoiled' department. I'm not sure she knows one day from the next eiither. I definitely cater to the queen!

Happy 3 Month Ampuversary Fortis ! I am glad that you are being treated as if everyday is an ampuversary, if you are a little spoiled (ok a whole lot spoiled) thats ok, you are right you do deserve it. Hoping for many more ampuversaries for you.

Fortis,
Our good ampuversary buddy Trouble has put is so very clearly, concise and to the point that it would be hard to amplfy on perfection. All I can say is that these ampuversaries puts a smile on Dad's face and for that we are all grateful. You just enjoy your special day and every day as the kind of special gift that it gives to your Dad. We are all pulling for many more ampuversaries, and never stop celebrating each and every milestone. However, see if you Dad can add some ICE CREAM to the celebration today. Everyone here knows that I like to celebrate with ICE CREAM.
Keep on kicking that cancer and celebrate many more ampuversaries. Your four month ampuversary will be during our first days in Yellowstone on our annual Month of June in Yellowstone trip. So, we may be a little late in posting a reply but we will not forget!!!

Happy Ampuversary Fortis! Hope you have a pawty today but your dad says everyday is a pawty!!!

Way to go Fortis- 3 months is so cool.
The pug girls will have something special with breakfast tomorrow in your honor, but pug sized, not Fortis sized.
