Thanks, everyone! Yeah, those pics are several months old. The bottom ones are when we first got him in February. And, the others were all around three or four months old. He'll be ten months old in a few days (on the 24th) and he weighs fifty pounds now. Quite a difference from those early ones. I may see if one of my pals with a scanner will let me borrow it for a couple hours soon, just to get some of the ones I've taken recently. You guys will flip, he's so handsome!

Yeah, and, Bruno was a sweetheart. I got him when I was thirteen and I put him down last June. It was the hardest thing I've had to do in my life thus far. I regretted it at first, but, I think it was the right thing to do. He was my true love, for sure. He was a little thing, less than 20 pounds. He looked just like a long haired dachshund, but, with longer legs (so, he wasn't disproportionate). He was mixed with a cocker spaniel, and, that's where he got the height from.

And, I do miss my parents terribly. It's getting really bad, though, since it's almost the holiday season. I'm really going to try to get out there, but, I just don't know how, yet. Crossing my fingers! But, my mom's so beautiful, I wanted to share her photo with everyone.
