Otto update. Let's see...next Tuesday he'll be 6 months. Gettin pretty chunky - 40+ lbs, no more puppy teeth/breath,→[More:]
graduated from puppy kindergarten, continued bonding with Simon the cat.

We're still working on manners - he gets terribly excited when greeting people, and he's improving with his gentle leader on walks. His little bare belly is filling in with peach fuzz, and he has a spot on each knee where the fur is wearing differently because he lays in frog position on the floor all the time.

This weekend we took him swimming both days -he bounds right in, his little tail a furry rudder! We wanted to see if he'd jump off the dock b/c he was trying to do it from the bank. He did! Scared us for a sec b/c he went all the way under but he popped back up, got the stick and swam to shore.

Sometimes I just look at him when he's snoozing & drown in adorableness & amazement that he was so teeny when we got him!!! Those little black lines for eyes, and he growls and wags his tail in his sleep. Massive kyootness.
