Ahhhh, but Juniper was only about 6 months old in that picture. She weighs about 80 pounds now.
I don't think I could handle buster in my house! I've always LOVED the large breeds, but I don't think that my bed is big enough. I babysit a doberman every once in a while, and he insists on laying across my legs at night.
And yes, the Heinz dogs are wonderful! Juniper is the momma of two cats that my hubby and I rescued a little over a year ago. They came into the house when she was just a puppy, and she would carry them to her bed for snuggles. It was a little scary to watch her at first since I didn't know what she was doing with them, but we quickly realized that she is just a big lover. I can't wait to see how she is with the new puppy.
