Update 3/26/2009

From Yogi's family: We gave Yogi a birthday of October 9th (based on vet estimation) so that makes Yogi a little over 2 years old. He is 94 lbs and loves car rides. He travels to the Keys with us and had a nice 3 week vacation in FL this past fall. He has met some of the Disney horses at their kennel in Fort Wilderness. They nosed each other through the fence... He's not much of a water dog, he will walk around puddles but this past trip to the forge he was going in up to his chest in the old cranberry bogs much to our surprise. He goes out on the crab boat some times in the spring when its cooler, but this past year it was really hot and Richie was concerned about him tolerating the heat so he didn't go out much. He loves to be be blow dried (when he's dry) every morning when I'm drying my hair, he turns into a cat and starts rubbing on me when this is going on. I think he may really be a kid trapped in a dogs body.... We all love him to death, it would feel like a part of us was missing if he wasn't here with us. He squeaks and somehow smiles when we come home and loves to be hugged. He is our protector too, he will not let anyone in the house (or car) with out Mom or Dad's OK. He thinks crabs are toys and knows how to pick them up with his mouth so he doesn't get bitten. I'm not sure if we have spoiled him or he has spoiled us....
