For the past month of raising the babies, this site showing up in my google results has been my #1 greatest resource and has been so informative and helpful, I figured I better join eventually
Attached is a photo of Earl Grey looking ridiculous, we are starting to suspect he is a rooster lol
Thanks! Here’s a pic of Cujo, I named him when I still thought he was going to get a lot bigger LOL. He’s such a fantastic dog, his 8th birthday is coming up this July
