This crazy, sweet, super cute pup turns one today! He was 17 lbs when we brought him home at 8 weeks and today he is 103 lbs and still growing for at least another year (though much more slowly). He's definitely still a handful - it's no joke to deal with an adolescent, intact male giant breed dog - but we've never stopped training, work on it every day, and most of the time he's a delight. I do look forward to getting past this phase, though Now a little walk down memory lane lol The day we brought him home: ![](https://d.pr/i/RHJqZU+) Otto & my son now: ![](https://d.pr/i/eQF4wh+) At about 10 weeks: ![](https://d.pr/i/7HhlPr+) Same cupholder, much larger paws (a couple weeks ago): ![](https://d.pr/i/NU3jPC+) At 12 weeks, giving Deego kisses the night before we had to put him down ![](https://d.pr/i/jFz6v6+) Keeping watch over Boo in her final days last month: ![](https://d.pr/i/izPP4h+) He knows which drive-throughs have dog treats ![](https://d.pr/i/EQr6wE+) He LOVED snow: ![](https://d.pr/i/EngQ9p+) He brings lots of love and joy to our lives and we are so lucky he's part of our family ![](https://d.pr/i/7Od4uC+)

He’s such a cutie, I am a sucker for tri-color dogs ♥️ It didn’t register with me that you’ve lost 2 other pets this year. I am so sorry.

It was pretty rough to lose them both just about 7 months apart. We almost didn't get Otto because of the timing - we were concerned about having an exuberant, large puppy with two elderly pets. But it all worked out and I think he gave them both comfort in their last days, and he has definitely helped us all deal with the losses.

I have several bernie dog TikTok accounts that pop up from time to time. Such gorgeous dogs.
I can't believe Otto is 1! He's so handsome. Those photos of him watching over your other pets just got to me.
Do not ever think you are oversharing his cuteness!
