Bud's not so much "Baby Bud" anymore. More like "Bud the Bradley (Armored Fighting Verhcle)".

Like I said, Bud's not so little anymore. Summer's been a bit nuts, so not many pics of the little big guy.

(Bud a little earlier in the summer, before his fur started to grow)

Bud's picked up a lot from his Uncle Shepard, mainly from watching Shepard's reactions to our commands and actions. He picked up "American Cheese snack at 10:30pm" really quick.

(Hiding in the closet because that's where Uncle Shepard was... Bud didn't know why, but that's what the big one was doing)

Bud's a strong little guy, that's for sure. He's already heavier than Shepard, but a lot shorter. The little guy is all muscle. He's also beginning to get longer fur. Probably by the time he's about nine months old, he'll look almost like he will when he's a full grown adult.

He's a really good fit for my parents (and Shepard). And when my sister, brother-in-law, and their dogs come over, Bud gives them a whole new appreciation for Shepard.

They're both good boys, and while the big one's a great dog right now, the little one's growing up into one.

Here's a link to a directory with all the pics I've got of the little guy so far.
