I have enclosed some pix of Julian in case anyone wants to see how big he is getting. He is 19 weeks old and weighs about 80 pounds already. He is doing well in puppy class and keeping all of us very busy! Loki is his best buddy and they romp and play all day. Kona ignores him and really kind of wishes he would leave. Julian has many of the same expressions and mannerisms that Tazzie had but he is much goofier and more outgoing (Taz was a sweet but shy pup).

OMG, I just want to hug them all! Julian is absolutely precious. He is growing like a weed.
Thanks for the photos Pam. If I had to guess I bet you are busy!

What a big boy! Julian is so adorable and look at the size of those paws! Makes you just want to hug and kiss him. Love the pictures!
My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!

Thanks for the news on your new monster Pup! What a cutie! He looks big in the photos, but at 80 lbs, he must be even bigger in real life. Sure looks like he has a great personality. Congratulations! (I didn't hear the news before.)

Denise,
Julian's dad weighs 230 pounds so he should get quite big. Loki weighs in at 155 pounds and Kona is our "little" dog at 65 pounds. We buy a 40# bag of food every 2 weeks, but they are certainly worth it!
