Too cute and trouble all the way!!  Lots of chewing and mischief yet to come Dennis.  Mine is now 10 months and starting to calm down more and more but still with a teenager's energy.

Thanks Richard.  These were two of his calmer moments. Fortunately, he tires out pretty quickly.  I spent the whole day with speaker visitors, including one dude who brought over a 96 dB sensitive Japanese speaker kit with a verrrrrry expensive compression tweeter.  I was impressed with how clean it sounded--but definitely too much of a good thing.  I can see why people are attracted to high sensitivity speakers, though.  I'll see if I can wrestle the highs to the ground and preserve its clarity.  If so, maybe I can design something you can run with an AA battery.  I'll put Frank out of business, I will.

I thought he was the calmest puppy I've seen in years.  You must be doing something right, or those tranquilizers you put in his puppy chow are really working :lol:.

Don't go there :nono:.  You'll only start a huge online fistfight over which type of battery sounds better - EverReady or Duracell.

This picture needs a little updating. How about Big Ben in front of a SoundScape?

They're so cute at that age. Enjoy it while you can. Before long he'll be out hanging with the Rottweiler and Doberman down the street, chasing cars, and cats, wanting to show the girls what a 'bad boy' he is.   :lol:  Of course I'm sure such a good Dad as you will be able to keep him on the right path in the end.  :thumb:

He's just lovable - let him slurp up both sides of your face.

Thanks for doing the Avatar thing, Pete.  There seems to be some kind of security issue with my computer that blocks me from posting pics.  I just got an e-mail from Jim--he's cleared Grinnell Iowa and heading west.

Congrats on the new add to staff Dennis.  They are the best, mine is going on 11 now.  Always makes coming home a pleasure with a greeting like your pup has in the latter picture.

Regards,
Jeff

This might be the thing that finally got my wife on board with new Salk speakers!

Mickey: Good dags. D'ya like dags?
Tommy: Dags?
Mickey: What?
Mrs. O'Neil: Yeah, dags.
Tommy: Oh, dogs. Sure, I like dags.

Can anyone name the movie? Sorry - this thread reminded me of that quote.

He's adorable. And I'm sure he has ENDLESS amounts of energy. If it's not nailed down he will try to play with it. Kinda strange that having your shoes destroyed can bring such a smile to your face.

Nuance, Snatch. Hilarious movie.

Now that is a cute dog.    Nothing like a hound to keep you company.   Mine warms the porch, eats the scraps and likes me even when I'm unlikeable.
