Frankie and the Tennis Ball - he is about 50% catching on a bounce.

And of course one of his favorite activies - just hanging around.

Six Months - August:

Not a stellar month for photos, but they are proof of life. And yes, he continues to grow and grow and grow . . . and sleep.

How I spent my Autumn vacation - New Mexico, in the RV and in Monica's yard.

Eight Months - October:
(27", 55 lbs)

Frank surveys his domain, takes a nap, and plays with the snake, which seems much smaller now that it did a few months ago.

In my most humble opinion he sure is getting pretty.

Nine Months - November:

Still loving that tennis ball and getting quite adept at catching it and other toys. He is also very involved in his water sports and thinks bobbing for tennis balls is great fun.

Ten Months - December:
(28.25", 60 lbs)

Have I mentioned that Frank can be unabashedly silly? Water sports have expanded to include ice-related activities like bobbing for iceburgs. Also pictured are a couple more of his favorite toys - a big stick and his toss-n-tug rope.

This is what he is looking like just standing around, and look, he *does* have a neck!
