I am sad to report that Chocolate's little boy puppy lost his race. He passed after a few days. I never met Roo but I sure do miss him.

On another note, we took some horrible pictures of Brian last night. It was nearly dark and it was raining so I guess I shouldn't have expected much! This is the BEST of the eight pictures. Oh that is so sad. :)

Brian will be 8 months old on Saturday. We went to Home Depot, Tractor Supply and Walmart last Saturday. We sat outside Walmart while Laura shopped. It was wonderful. If you need to socialize a dog this is a wonderful way to do it. As a bonus there is a huge construction project going on next door and there were lots of big trucks and unexpected noises. Brian did great. He is allot like his Grampa Trojan in that unexpected noises don't seem to bother him at all.

He is about 30 inches at the withers and I would guess about 120-125 pounds. He might be a little more but I would rather guess small. I despise inflated height and weight numbers.
