    That’s quite a puppy! When does he go for puppy training? I don’t think I would want him to jump on me! What is showing under his tail? It looks like a doll foot, but I can’t believe that such a masculine specimen would play with dolls.

    Beautiful boy!

    Those are my sandals under his tail.

    We can’t get him scheduled into a puppy training class for a few more weeks, unfortunately. I hope he doesn’t continue to grow at this rate!

    When I saw his head I thought…Oh my! Then I had a chuckle! We would really like to meet him. Does he like kids?

    Yep. Definitely time for the saddle.

    PS — Very cute. Now let’s see what he actually looks like, not what his food bill would suggest.

    Wow! I saw him last night, and he has grown a lot in 24 hours!

    And Heather, I can answer your question. He loves kids. And adults. And purses. And bread. And balls. And squeeker toys. And the smell of other dogs. And the smell of offices. And hands. And… well you get the idea. He seems to love most everything that comes his way. He was all over me… couldn’t stop giving me doggie kisses.

    Yes Heather, he loves everybody, but tends to be very enthusiastic with his affection. I don’t know if he would knock a one-year-old down or not, but he might.

    You are of course welcome to come and see, or come and keep the kids behind the door if that seems prudent.

    My compatriots tried to tell me that this is false editing–he can’t be this large! I want to see him before he “grows up”. The last time I saw him, I held him in my arms!

    That was very clever, Unc. I chuckled immediately. I can’t believe “some” people fell for it. Thanks for the laugh.

    I better get your plans drawn quick. Maybe I need to come back over and measure Apollo to make sure that the rooms you are going to build are big enough 🙂

    you need to re-name him clifford. and die his coat red.

    Now how about a picture of his real size? I liked this one because it really shows his markings. Hope you haven’t fed him any of the rat poison infected food that has been recalled.
