OOOPPPSSS ... you're right, I meant to say 6 MONTHS old... not weeks... he is a big boy right now, weighed in at a husky 40 lbs the other day at the vet's office. As far as who that black dog in the picture with him is... you are right, it is a Beagle / Lab mix... a sweet one year old girl who I have joint custody of. Anyway, thanks for catching me on my mistake... hehehe
