The runt of the litter, born with the name of Trigger. He was named by my little brother, Gabriel, for no apparent reason except he liked the name. We weren't sure if this little man was going to make it for the first two weeks. He didn't start gaining any weight until he was almost 2 weeks old, even though we kept pulling his dam aside she he could nurse without having to fight for it. He was a fighter though and He now has a fantastic home with a 5 year old boy who dotes on him and a 85 lb Golden Retriever who is doing a fantastic job training him! Joby is a very sweet tempered, happy little puppy. If you look up puppy in the dictionary, I'm sure you would find his picture there. We get to see him very often, he lives in a near by town. We got to see him about a week ago at an outdoor concert, he was the center of attention!
 |
| Born on a cold February night, he was always taking every bit of sunshine he could manage. |
 |
| Even though he wasn't great on growing in size, he sure advanced well on everything else. He was the first to open his eyes, the first to walk on all fours by himself, and the first to beg for attention. |
 |
| His first week picture, he is still at his birth weight, 14 oz. |
 |
| His second week picture, he was much more active, his eyes are open all the way, as you can tell by this picture he is starting to push himself up on all fours, and best of all he had gained 2 oz in the last week. That may not be a great amount, but every little bit helps, right? |
 |
| And he didn't stop growing from then on, he was still behind, but he gained weight good. |
 |
| Here was a picture I took of him last time was saw him, happy and jolly as you please! |
