he's doing really great now, you can tell he's happy! i guess scout must have been harassing him more than i thought, because he started acting 100% better the day she left, and from then on it was up up and away! i wasn't going to get another dog, but when hubby got the puppy, i thought it was going to cause problems with his weight. BOY, was i wrong! diesel absolutely loves the puppy and they play bounce at each other all day. he's still in an awkward looking phase, you can see his front half is super bulky and then right after his shoulders it's slim. it's funny b/c that "line" goes toward his butt more and more and you can literally see where he's bulking up ha ha.
