He knocks on the patio door if he is left outside without his humans for more than 3 minutes (even howled once), and loves to play catch outside or just play inside with all his toys. No sooner have we put his stuffed toys away then he will pull them all out, one by one, of their toy boxes.

Jimmy went for his six month checkup and is doing FABULOUS. He is now 95lbs !!!! HE IS A BIG BIG BOY! He is not overweight, though. He is a happy boy!
