I am visiting my son for a few days. This big boy has to be near me all the time. I woke up with two Akitas and a cat in bed with me this morning. I wasn’t lonely.

Watson, the Great Hunter
My granddog, Watson, managed a successful hunt, despite overwhelming odds. He found this plush toy beside a trashcan. After valiant pursuit, he was able to wrestle it into submission and drag its sorry carcass home. At last report, he was still standing guard over it.

As you can clearly see, he has placed it in his food bowl in preparation for dinner. He is not a catch and release kind of dog. I am concerned that he will never be able to pass this ball even if he is successful in eating it.
In the shot above, you see Watson snoozing in the bathtub. He sleeps with his snout at the drain where his snores can be amplified throughout the house. He is like a two-year-old child. He thinks he should get a bath anytime anyone else does. Should they forget to lock the door, he pushes his way in to get in the tub with them. If he gets in before they dry off, he wants to lick water droplets off. He is not a good shower friend.
