Bonkers' Four Decades
Bonkers was born in September of 1999 which makes today Bonkers' fourth decade in which he's been alive (which is only three less than me). To celebrate Bonkers' four decades (but not age), here are pictures from each of his decades:
Left: One of the earlier pictures we have of him, taken less than a month after we adopted him. I suspect Naomi took this picture, in December of 1999.
Second from left: Bonkers on 16 January 2005 on our bed when we lived in California.
Second from right: Bonkers on 12 September 2010 enjoying a late summer nap next to a window from which he watched wild animals safely. Not once was he threatened by an animal in his dreams.
Right: Bonkers this morning, 1 January 2020, marking his 4 decades. He was angry at us because we didn't immediately awaken and feed him.
(To some, the 2020s don't start until 2021 (the rationale being there was no year 0). For me, the next decade starts when the least significant digit rolls around to zero. To those who disagree, if Bonkers is still around in 2021, I'll try to remember to post another montage then.)
