Gillie loves to sit on my lap when I am at the computer - it probably wasn't the most sensible thing to encourage because now at 20kg he still wants to be up. I let him come up from time to time and we watch puppy videos on Youtube as he likes the sound! The first photo is at 10 weeks, the second at 24.

I had a little lab cross who used to be able to jump up for a piggy back. Was fun when she was little

B *sometimes* tries to get up on my lap for cuddles but the agonised screams of 'GET OFF ME YOU CLUMSY OAF!" usually dissuade.

She seems to think whenever my mother sits down at the desktop then it's an invite to hop on her lap

LOL it shows how dogs can differ - my two greyhounds are little ones, so Flick is 24kg and Islay is 28kg

Dont actually know how tall they are at the shoulder, I would say about 24" for Flick and 26" for Islay???

We were originally looking for a dog about Islays height and weight....something went wrong somewhere along the lines!

Having said that, even though he is big, hes lovely and gentle...untill he sees a cat!

He's 2 next month, so I hope he won't grow much bigger height wise....heres to hoping!

there is actually a shetland on my yard who is smaller than my dog!
He's Just sent me flying down the stairs by using me to stop himself falling.
So much for gentle!
