Dyllan is really growing up fast. You want them to grow out of the puppy stage but then at the same time you dont!! It will be nice when I can trust him alone in the house out of the crate,but for now I am enjoying him as his little puppy self..only problem is he doesnt think he is little! He was playing with our other puppy Kori [german shepherd} she is now 5 months old and 50 pounds to his 12 pounds. Another german shepherd puppy Gunner was over playing he is 60 pounds and Dyllan got their ball and held onto it they couldnt get it away from him they were afraid it was really funny. He proved he doesnt need long legs to play with the big dogs!!
