Big boy Buster is now 10 months old

He's now tipping the scales at 133.4lbs (as of 12/15), 31" at the shoulder and 37" around the chest.

Going to get him that night in April was one of the best decisions Ive ever made. He is everything I wanted when I began my search for a puppy. The shy, fearful baby I brought home has blossomed into a confident, outgoing young dog.

Every day he comes with me as I walk my girls to the bus and preschool, the kids all love him (he feels the same). He's such a gentle boy, he can even be trusted with tiny infants. He lives to please. He is very responsive, quick to pick up a new trick, just an absolute joy to work and live with.

We got 15" of snow almost 2 weeks ago. Buster is loving it!

Checking out whats going on in the back yard

Trying to figure out what all the fuss is about shoveling (almost 7 year old Hannah beside him...the child that was once terrified of dogs!)

He plays the grinch so well! Yep, he was talking back, just like one of the kids LOL

Here's how you'll find us most evenings. Dont mind the jammies, I was recovering from having a wisdom tooth extracted.

The not so little girls wanted to jump in. 4 1/2 year old Makayla in my lap, almost 7 year old Hannah leaning over the arm of the couch and 5 1/2 year old Christina sitting on Buster. 11 1/2 year old Shaylyn would have joined us, but she was busy behind the camera!
