Charlie is getting so big, I think he's about 40 pounds now!!! We enrolled him in "puppy kindergarten" which starts in two weeks. There will be about ten other puppies - several labradors, a german shepherd, a mini poodligog and some others. I'm glad to hear there are other large breed pups for him to interact with. I can't believe we've had him for 10 weeks already, as well as 10 weeks only! He is looking so grown-up these days - his hair is getting all shiny and slick - not puppy-like fuzziness anymore. He spends a great deal of his day outside the crate now, now that he's so good at holding his pee. He's never once had an accident in the car, and this weekend he gets to go on a car-ride all the way to Santa Cruz for an extended playdate!
