Bosco at Four Months

Today, Bosco is Four Months Old. The best we can estimate, holding him as still as we can while balancing on the bathroom scales, is that he weighs 44 pounds. Some change from the wee 8 1/2 pound ball of fluff that came home with us only 11 weeks ago!

His favorite times of day, in general order of his preference, are: Chow Time, Play Time, Nap Time, and Bed Time.

So far, he's only slipped and partly fallen into the pool once, but was able to scramble back out, with our help. We expect many more Labrador swimfests as the weather warms up - his huge webbed paws already look like swim fins when his toes are spread.

He likes retrieving his tennis ball and his special stick, and will chase them for hours - longer than his humans can throw them for him.

He sleeps through the night in his private den in the corner of our bedroom, but is always ready for an "outside" and breakfast by 5:30 am.
