“Sweet puppy love he does impart- that flows out from his giant heart!” _by Poet Our grandson has a very special pet who's nine months old, and such a loving one! If you could see him, surely you'd forget he's still a puppy wanting to have fun! He might outpace you on a morning run; then on your lap, he spreads out long and wide. One hundred pounds already, and not done; sweet Bernese Mountain Dog stands tall with pride! But, how big will he get? I ask myself, wide-eyed.
