I always admired these dogs, and always wanted one, so I gifted myself in August. Novio is 8 months old now. How old does that make him in human years? I don't know. I am guessing he is like an 8 year old boy right now. Why? Well, he acts like my son did at that age. He never fails to bring in something new he finds in the backyard, like "Look, mom. See what I found?" He's brought in sticks, rocks, a glove, a pair of undies (NOT mine...hmmmm) a pair of pliers, and one very afraid lizard. he thinks EVERYthing in this house is his. He's so sad when he's corrected. But I do what I must, and then give him time, then love him up. Sometimes he acts like the perfect "frat boy." He acts kind of "slow"...like he's just gonna take his time. He goes on frequent panty raids, steals sips of beer, BELCHES loudly(like a man) then wags his tail like, "cool." usually in my face (charming). I won't even go into the other "eruptions" he is capable of. Suffice to say, he can clear a room in no time. So far, he knows: sit, stay, down, "no bark", and "outside?" He is perfectly housebroken 95% of the time. I am crazy about him, but I wonder how his personality will change as he matures. He is VERY sweet and takes correction, even from our other dogs. here are pictures of him. He is BEAUTIFULLY marked...very symmetrical. <img src="http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o100/littlered_015/DCFN0005-1.jpg" width="390" /> <img src="http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o100/littlered_015/DCFN0002.jpg" width="390" /> Tell me what you think, and what I can expect in the future from Novio.

Tell me what you think, and what I can expect in the future from Novio. Thanks!
