Tye hit 87 pounds yesterday, Are his brothers and sisters that big? He’s long and tall, not much fat on him. He's just a big dog.

On an unrelated issue Tye has very red eyes, or at least the area around the eyes, a lot. It seems to me his lower lids are pretty loose. He loves to crash through tall grass and usually ends up with red eyes after he does.

Tye is NOT crazy about swimming. He will swim after a stick of ball about three times then just look at me as if to say, "If you want it so bad you go get it." He is much more enthusiastic about fetching ducks and pigeons from the water. He's not afraid of water often wading out up to his chest for no apparent reason. He will stick his head underwater to retrieve an object that has sunk. So far his deepest retrieve is about 10 inches.

So, how are his siblings doing?

P.S. He is still addicted to any of our clothing. My wife’s bra is a particular favorite.
