He was a whopping 49.7kg when we got him and over the summer he got down to 36kg but weighed him after Christmas and back up to a shameful 42kg. Sharing too much of our food! He is very gentle and funny but also stubborn and greedy. He climbs into the dishwasher to lick plates and up onto the bench in our kitchen to hoover up any leftovers and shows no remorse when caught out!
We were also not warned about his obsession with mud and water. My friend calls him a hippo and he is always by far the dirtiest dog after a trip to the forest. He seems to be able to find water anywhere and would be useful in the desert!
But he gallops around and fetches the ball with our son, Ben, and patiently copes with wearing hats and dressing gowns the girls, Molly and Harrriet, always cover him with and all the hugs and kisses so we love him very much.
