Hi everyone from a white Prince Edward Island,
The first snow came overnight, dumped about 6" in a relatively short space of time. The two companions are having a major ball out there!!! It is hilarious watching Serge leaping around. I'll get some snow pics today.. Serge is 11 mo old now, and on 25 Dec will be 1 yr old, and 8 mo post amp. As you can see he has grown like a weed, (he is now taller than our 5 yr old GSD Raven). If he decides to run these days, neither I nor my good wife can catch him any more. Fortunately, he still has to take frequent rests, so we can get hold of him when he sits down. If he had 4 legs, he would be a major handful !!!!
His strength is building nicely, and his overall gait is improving. His markings have really changed in the last few months, and (even though we do say so) he is a "handsome boy !!"
On another positive note, my wife Charlotte who is a Stage 4 Renal carcinoma survivor, (her left kidney was removed over 3 yrs ago, and at the same time, a large metastasised hole in her left tibia was repaired ) had her 6 mo. check up (CT scan, etc) and the oncologist told us that she is continuing to be in full remission...
Snow pictures will follow (sometime in the near future)
Have a good one people

No guesses as to who chewed up the carpet...!!! Difficult to believe he is only 11 mo old..

Serge and Raven how beautiful. What a great Christmas this will be.
Thanks... we'll just have to nail the Xmas tree to the wall this year, and keep the hanging "baubles" out of reach
