Shotgun is HUGE

I took Shotgun to get his rabies shot this weekend. Remember, he was 8 pounds when I found him on 5/20 and yesterday, he weighed in at 25.7 pounds! He's a veritable dog-building machine.

And today, I took him to the newly reopened Dog Park at White Rock Lake. He played around with a shephard puppy who was bigger than he was and about 4 weeks younger. So, while Shotgun is much bigger than he used to be, I'm pretty convinced he won't be as big as a pure lab.

Shotgun also got into the lake with the big dogs. There were about 5 or 6 totally fanatic retrieving dogs in the water at the same time and that made Shotgun very exicted about joining in. However, he stayed fairly close to the edge.

When we came home he totally crashed for two hours. Hmmm, so did I and I didn't go into the water....

    Maybe he's afraid of getting his ears wet. You could get him a swim cap and some doggie water wings. If the other dogs laugh, just remind them that they were young once, too.

    I've been out in the sun too much today.

    Brad, hmmm, that's a good idea! Shotgun also has mange! He's a handful that is for sure.
