Bosco's Fourth of July

Here's Bosco's official Fourth of July portrait.

It's always exciting getting a picture of him in a bandana, since whenever he sees one of them come out, he automatically assumes that it means we're getting ready to go somewhere fun - the park, the vet's, a walk, visiting friends... It's a disappointment when all he sees is the camera. As is evident here, though, he's always ready to pose.

Saturday Bosco had a real treat. His extended Southern California human family all came to visit him. He wasn't too enthused about going in the pool, but once he was in, he paddled energetically to the steps in the shallow end and managed to get out on his own.

Bosco's Lazy Spring Days

We just realized that it's been six months since our last update. Here's Bosco recently toasting in the late springtime sun. Doesn't seem possible that he's already over two and a half years old. Now weighing just over 97 pounds, he's still the little baby inside that he was when he was eight and a half pounds and could be held in the palm of my hand.

The high point of his week is visiting the leash-free park a couple of times a week for chasing his ball and socializing with all his buddies.
