Sawyer Update!

Hi Simone! 

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!

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.
