Hi everyone,

Wow.. (tempus fugit) time flies..Serge is now 9 mo old, and almost 6 months post amp. As you can see from the new pics, taken today in the cornfield ,on a beautiful late September day on PEI, he has grown soooooo... much. One healthy, happy, (and can be a royal pain in the butt) adolescent GSD.. Our older GSD Raven, is a solid 89 lbs, and Serge may be " slimmer", but he is now actually taller than she is. He is running around really well, and his hind leg is gaining in strength as the weeks go by. He now hops up on the bed, on the sofa with no problem. He runs around after the ball, and Raven, with no apparent effort, but walking is still tiring for him. However, if he is given a loose leash, (as he is most of the time) he will gallop ahead with no sign of discomfort. We have to "trot" to keep up with him !!!

Hope I didn't post too many pics.......

I told my wife that shorts and rubber boots are not exactly "haut couture". She retorted, "this is a cornfield on PEI, not Rodeo Drive !!!"

Have a good week everyone

So nice to have an update on Serge!  the forum has had quite its share of puppies lately, and it's great to see how Serge is doing as a teenage tripawd. Congratulations, Serge!  You are a handsome boy.

Woohoo! Great to hear from ya Serge! Lookin' grrrrreat dude! Tell your pops not to worry about the going slow thing. All us rear leg amps around my place do waaaaay better when we can stretch out and get up to speed. My maw has a hard time keeping up with us too so tell your pops not to feel bad. Besides, what self respecting GSD wants to go slow! Heel? Whats thatlittle-devil? Just kidding.......You are about the age Travis Ray was when he came to live with us. He was pretty wimpy back then but now he is big and strong and can go slow juuuuust fine. Oh, and tell your pops he can't post too many pictures of your fine looking selfwinker!
