We picked up The Appadog one year ago today. Kind of insane. He's been a great addition to the house and I wouldn't change a thing. Except the throwing up... I'll post a comparison photo tomorrow.

Happy Gotcha Day, Appa! He's such a handsome boy! You definitely need to post some more photos of him.
By the way, Riley- I was lurking the forum a long while ago and saw your go command for him is yip-yip and had to laugh! I use that for Koda too though it's obviously not as funny since he's not named Appa.

Wow. It's like I watched the evolution from a husky to a mal - seriously though he looked like a big husky in the first picture.

And yet, you never lose sight of how absolutely extraordinary that very ordinariness is, how difficult, remarkable and rewarding that fight to be 'just like everybody else' has been." -Gwen Cooper, "Homer's Odyssey"

I just saw this post TOO! Smile

I had to bump it with that AWESOME picture comparison! Holy CRUD! He's huuuge! How much does he weigh now?

Yeah, he is a big boy - I expect him to keep getting bigger too, he's still rather lanky for a Mal (and only 1.5 yrs old).

When we picked him up he was ~40lbs, he's now ~85lbs.

You weren't here when we got him - we thought (and were told) that he WAS a husky. Woops!

Wow! He's all grown up!
You know what I just thought of?...A year later, Appa grew and gained 40 lbs....for me, the picture of Storm would be opposite! Storm shrank and lost 40 lbs. Razz

A year ago, a lot of people thought Storm was a Mal...now most people will say, 'he's a big husky, isn't he?'

Oohh! 85 lbs, and 1.5 years - still growing! Smile

Definitely mal! What a beautiful boy!
