Wow, what a surprise, Garrett was a great puppy. He has his adolescent moments that frustrate me, but in general he has been great! He also has a HUGE head. We laugh at him because he looks so silly sometimes. I'm hoping to take him today to get a weight on him. He's probably about the same. He's eating about the same. We didn't take the red guy because he didn't seem very smart. He ran his head into their coffee table 3 times in a row. Garrett learned after the first time. Our first puppy was quite difficult, so maybe Garrett just seems good. We rescued a 2yr old female newf so that he would have a playmate and they get along great and stay entertained. Of course you aren't in NPD, you live in NY, duh, I knew that. I have emailed Diane on occasion and I haven't gotten much in responses. I need to send her 1 yr old pictures. We will defiantly keep in touch.
