He is just stunning! I absolutely adore him just from the pics,lol. He could eat my bed and I think I'd forgive him. The whole group of them look like they belong together. It must have been fate!

About the hips.. have you thought about making pet steps or like one step to help him get on and off furniture? I have never had a dog with bad hips, but from what I understand jumping up and down can be bad for them. I bought some pet steps for Owen so his little Basset self could get on and off our bed without causing me to get a hernia, but he can't use them because they are designed for smaller dogs to use and just don't match his bigger body type. I am going to buy some plywood and make him a couple steps for the bed upstairs and the twin bed I have for dog use in the basement.
