Sawyer here! I think you called me “Cosmo” when I saw born mom and dad changed my name pretty quick! My mom and dad were apparently obsessed with the TV show Lost last year and thought that I was handsome enough to be called Sawyer J Apparently; he was a rugged handsome fellow with a penchant for being a bit of a badass. They say I’ve got the perfect name!
Mom and dad keep me really busy over here in North Vancouver. We live in a really nice area with lots and lots of hiking trails – and boy do we hike! I get to go for a hike with dad in the morning and then after mom is done teaching she takes me out too! On the weekends we go to the river together and I get to swim to my hearts content. My favourite thing to do there is sticking my face in the water and picking up rocks from the riverbed. I pick the *exact* one I want and then stick my head underwater and get it. Then I take it over to mom and put beside her. She makes sure nobody takes them! Then I go and do it over, and over, and OVER again! Mom shakes her head and rolls her eyes but I think it’s pretty cool.
Dad really loves that I’m so chill in the house. I’m usually so pooped that I just plop right down and sleep when I’m home! Sometimes, if I stare longingly at mom or dad with my head resting in their laps they will usually give in and let me watch TV with them on the couch. I mastered the “sad, puppy face” long ago – suckers! Mom and dad keep me really busy over here in North Vancouver.

I just turned 1 year old last week and mom and I agreed that we’d start agility training in the spring to keep me busy! I’m not sure how much I weigh right now and mom’s not sure how to measure me…but last time I was at the vet (at the end of the summer) I was 53lbs and of all the Toller friends I meet, I’m by far the tallest! Mom says she thinks I’m probably almost 60lbs, but you’d never know it! I’m in awesome shape! I think, like my brother Jeep, that we were the big boys in our litter!!!
Say hi to mommy Harmony and daddy Ziggy for me if you get a chance! Happy New Year!
Love, Sawyer
PS – here is a picture of me when I was a “sweet little innocent pup” and a more recent “devilishly handsome” young adult in November.
