He always thought he was a lap dog...

Even when he was the enormous entity we affectionately dubbed, "The Pupster", any person's lap was a comfortable (for him) place to sit.

Here he is with Sheryl when he was about four months old -- just before he went through a huge growth spurt! We still wonder to this day how we ever got him to sit still enough for this photograph; he looks just like one of the many stuffed Berners we have around the house.
