Oh he is very handsome!  Love that picture! Gotta love those big ole' paws & certainly his head.  Very cute.  Keep on posting those pics when you get time. 

We use an undercoat rake and the Furminator is wonderful & works well for us.  By the time we are done with all 4 of our pups, we can make at least 2 giant blanket throws with their fur! 

We are also big fans of the drool towels everywhere, especially near the water bowls.  We usually buy the jumbo pack of car wash towels they sell at Costco or big pack of washcloths at WalMart. 

Best of luck with your beautiful boy!

Well , I am happy ( exreeeeemley happy  ;) ) to say that Spook can now climb the stairs on his own !!! Yayyy ! This morning I opened the door to the back porch and he walked right on out , and it's super wet and muddy here and I was wondering how I was going to get him back in on my own ( pictureing getting drug thru the mud ...) since I had a Dr's apt . in an hour , but when I was ready to leave I opened the door , called the dogs and he ran right on in with the other dogs ! I'm super impressed ! He even goes right into his crate now without any hesitation , I'm so proud of my boy !

*Modified because I'm so excited I can't spell !  ::) *

Wow that's awesome!!  I think in this case it's really helping to have other dogs around to "teach" him the ropes!  Sounds like he's learning and settling in really well!  Gooooo Spookster!   ;D

HAHAHAHAAA!!  I'm always singing Koby crazy songs, but it's so much fun.  I have an awful singing voice, but Koby doesn't seem to mind, or at least I don't think he does!  :P
