    Oh my word what a cutie!!! I loved the videos - I would sit all day watching them play. Hilarious how he lay on his back to watch the big girls show him how to play. And then poor boy wanted to join in but got tipped away. I bet all that play makes them all sleep well through the night!

    Morning hooly - all those teeth and paws, it's amazing how they keep track and nobody gets hurt!

    Touch lots of wood, Keira hasn't mouthed humans or grabbed clothes at all. By 12 weeks Mollie was a total crocapup monster!

    :)

    They are so quiet when they play! I remember Jodhi and Brogan (mainly Jodhi) sounding like a pride of lions out to murder each other.

    Also...I can tell which is Tatze and which is Mollie!

    I must have missed something with being away, but how did you end up getting Keir before Mollie moved on?

    He was homeless.

    He was due to go to a puppy walker in Scotland who was taken ill. So he went to boarders while a free puppy walker was found - me!

    I'd been offered a German Shepherd but Mr Boogs said 'no, they are too big'.

    Mwahahaha! Keir is going to be bigger than any GS! He can reach the work surface already and Mollie is carefully teaching counter surfing lol


    :D

    I have to admit, when you posted that photo of you holding the ginormous Keir, my first thought was, "Heh, heh...so the GSD was too big but this one isn't?". :D

    He doesn't look real in that first one! If someone said it was a stuffed toy, I'd believe them :D

    We've had breakfast and a big play, now it's time for a snooze.

    He's gorgeous! Is he cuddly?

    It looks like he has a lighter stripe down his chest. Does he or is it just the photo?

    He's super cuddly but already too heavy to pick up!

    Yes, he's lighter on his chest :)

    Sharing with Tatze for the first time in his bed, he's soon going to need a bigger bed just for him - and this is not the 'puppy' bed, he was too small for that from day1!

    He's eeenormous! Thankfully he puts his paws up so I can just lift his back end into the car!

    This made me giggle because it reminded me of The Princess Bride and the Rodents Of Unusual Size (ROUSes).

    Maybe Keir is a POUS, a Puppy Of Unusual Size.

    I'd much prefer to meet a POUS in a dark alley than a ROUS! :D
