At 50.8 lbs, Trask is getting more handsome by the day. He is also getting so tall he is a quite effective counter surfer. His need to put everything he sees in his mouth has not abated. The vet suggested mouse traps. I immediately bought a dozen to arm his favorite surfing surfaces. Before I had walked across the room, he had triggered one and proudly pranced it over to me. Today, he didn't bother to bring a snapped one to me. He just took it to his dog bed and proceeded to chew it to bits.
