Last month on his Facebook page, Wingshooting USA television host Scott Linden asked an interesting question: "Do you celebrate your dog's birthday?" Although I've openly described spoiling my German shorthaired pointer in past blog posts, I have to admit I'm not certain of my pup's actual day of birth. I think it is April 17, 2007, but I could be off by a day or three. Needless to say, Tram's four birthdays have gone by without fanfare. What about you? Do you bust out the special doggy treats and party hats for your pup's birthday celebration? The Pointer is written by Bob St.Pierre, Pheasants Forever's Vice President of Marketing.
