Thank you all! He definately has a unique build- lil legs and big heavy body. He sure can get some height for his weight! I gotta wear him out somehow and he seems to be thrilled with his new found ability to catch the ball.
He also loves swimming- sometime I will post a link to his youtube swimming videos. He enjoys going fully under water to chew on a fallen tree in the stream and to retrieve things that sink to the bottom. He's a whole lotta fun to watch and photograph!!
