Purposeful is a great way to describe it.

I got to see him run in that dolphin-like, arching hop for the first time in it today and I was so inspired by it, so proud of my boy.  

He ran across that field like his life depended on it.

Thanks Meredith, he made some progress. His fever is below 100 and so he is stabilizing from that at least.

Link is our ghost of Christmas future.

I've seen this look behind Dizzy before, especially when we're headed toward the dog park. I can't wait until he's old enough and I can get one for him and have a running buddy.

Here's some pics of Link out and about since he turned 1.

Stolen flag at a crosswalk.

"I like salmon!"

"stack", pfft.

Yummy stick in the park

Looking regal.

Goofy and happy.

Curled up in a ball and worn out from playing.

Ha ha ha, stealing the cross walk flag, huh? LOL He looks happy.

Yep, he looked so proud too, he got all prancy.  "safety first guys, come on!"

He is so handsome!

He really looks like an adult in the new pictures and in your new profile picture. Almost shocking I still kind of thought he looked like a giant teenager but look and how mature he looks. Wow Link you are growing up.

Thanks Elise!

He definitely turned a corner this month in his physical development. He sorta left the puppy look and moved into a more mature adult look and his muscle mass developed a bit more too. He was the same weight for nearly 4 months and he just gained ~2 pounds while not really growing or fattening.

He's beefing up in the chest and thighs and his face is filling out more.

His adolescent ebb and flows are getting longer in cycle and fewer in number, which is great because I can use some consistency for a change, ha!

Man he has turned out to be one handsome pup.

Thanks Ashleigh. I'm really happy with his development lately.

I was checking out Mishka's scrapbook the other day. Don't tell Link, but I think Mishka is prettier than Link. Link is definitely handsome, but your buddy has such an elegant beauty to him, especially that face with the markings.

I think he's my favorite forum black and white for sure . Korra doesn't count because I know her for real

This one is by far my favorite of Link. I love getting that same expression from Lycus. It's like the after "huff" when their top lips are still inflated and showing some bottom teeth lol. I have to agree with other that Link is super handsome.

Very handsome guy! Link's really turning out well. I love those mischievous eyes he has.

Link is so funny. He's very regal, but he's also such a goofball too. I miss him! (And you guys too, I guess ) Let's get together after finals!

Mishka is incredibly handsome, way prettier than Korra haha. I love the markings and how fluffy he is!

We accept and we miss you too. You being in school and working all the time is very hard on our relationships

Just lemme know when you have some free time.

A few shots from the last 2 weeks.

Him outside on the Lookout with his sick Dadda


Celebration of Easter


Happy as can be on a recent hike


Staring very intently at flying birds

Aww you guys are too kind! Thank you though. I couldn't be happier with how well he has grown up. (I still secretly think he's the most handsome husky I've seen but I could be biased. )

Hahah. He looks like he's cursing you out. XD

Haha, he doesn't look like he liked that hat very much. He looks very regal posing on the Lookout.

Yeah, ha, he was not a fan of the hat. It was a very short lived photo op.

I feel like the hat makes him look like a rapper. That pic is screaming for a caption.

At the zoo today

How did he react when he saw it? He looks like he's grinning.

He did a play bow and a woo and then sniffed it and looked really excited

How cute -- he looks like he's made a new friend and he's posing with it.

I know Liz, I love how his head is cocked as if he's saying "Oh Heeeyyyy!".

Link thinks because he eats raw food that he can interrupt our work walk with duck stalking, silly dog.
