Walker Kersten

Born: June 10th 1998, just ten days before we arrived in the US

Size: 24" (60 cm), most people still regard him as a puppy

Weight: 60 lbs, getting heavier by the hour

Characteristics: very good looking, either sleeps or goes wild, likes running and swimming, intelligent but poorely trained, dives for golf balls, loves everybody, is basically afraid of everything that's greater than a volleyball, sleeps in our bed, gets three meals a day, drinks a lot of water, likes ice-cubes and cookies, propably will have more toys than Nic, chases everything that is moving, especially birds and leaves.

Castration: Walker went to the doctor on January 7th. Corinna picked him up a couple of hours later. It was very sad watching him since he was not feeling well at all and still was under narcotics. He looked like he was under drugs and couldn't even walk the stairs alone. Which again looked very funny. A week later he was doing fine again. His wound looked much better and he was able to go running again. Although the scar still does not really look perfect until now, everthing seems to be o.k. He slightly lost a bit of his activity but that's o.k. since it was difficult to keep up with his pace anyway.
