Orca turned 6 months yesterday, which seems crazy to me. I remember waiting for him and dreaming and seeing all of the pictures posted here and watching Newf videos on youtube and being just so envious.
Having a puppy is a ton of work, it makes me laugh in disbelief when people tell me he can't be *that* time-consuming, or get in the way of weekend trips and international vacations. At the same time, I feel lucky beyond measure. I love the way he follows me around the house, plopping down and napping in whichever room I pause in. I love how, at 70 lbs, he doesn't mind laying in my lap for a cuddle. The way he swims in to "rescue" sticks and deposits them on the shore then looks at me as if to say "what's next?" I love how gently he observes our cat nose-to-nose (when she allows it) and how excited he gets to see my step-daughter and how well he behaves in public or at family events. Having him has just been an absolute joy, and certainly one of the best decisions I've made thus far, either for myself or for my family.
*PS, I'm sorry these are so big, I have no idea how to resize them. Oops!
