Hobo

You can put the picture on the web site. I have some more, but can't find the disk they are on. As soon as I find it, I'll send them to you. I also have a picture of him with Santa and his two brothers and sister. When I get it scanned I'll send that too. He has now started to come and lay beside me on the couch with his head in my lap. He likes to be close. He has also helped my spook Travis come out of his shell. Hobo and Travis now lay on the love seat butt to butt and sleep.

Yes, he is a beauty and getting prettier all the time. He has filled in very well and his coat is finally starting to shine. He now weighs 72 pounds.

He still shies away when you walk up to him, but will come up to me when I am sitting down to be petted. He loves to have his ears rubbed. And believe it or not, he is my alpha dog. He took over my pack when I lost my beloved Ike in July to kidney disease.

He also has a lot of pup in him yet. I have to muzzle him when I leave or I will come home to a real mess. Especially if he can get his mouth on paper. He pretty much left the Christmas tree alone after he found out that he couldn't have the ornaments he took off the tree. I have learned that you put the tree in the corner and put a baby gate in front of it between the furniture on both sides of it. There are times when I ask myself what in the world I was thinking when I adopted a pup. I haven't had one this young in a long time. My other three are 8 1/2, 7 and 6.
