I’m 11 months old now, and I weigh 75 lbs. I’m the “tall kid” in class, and most people think I’m older than I am. But Chris says, “he’s still just a big puppy. ” It seemed like the nice fall weather was never going to...

I’ve now turned 8 months old! I have no idea what that is in “dog months,” but Cathy and Chris figure that I’m old enough, and my training has improved so much that I’m going even more places than ever before. Ah yes…the month of...
