Toka, my little red dog, has outgrown another collar. He’s nearly 70 pounds — or was 2 Friday’s ago.

I’ll bet he’s over 70 pounds now!
With his increasing size is increasing maturity. He’s still very much a puppy – somewhat uncoordinated, eating as if all of his little red legs are hollow, with LOTS of energy – and yet it feels as if he’s growing as I watch.
We’ve completed enough mileage to have earned him his Trail Dog title through Dog Scouts of America. We’re shy one 5 mile ‘hike’ (read: stroll from our house as he and Kiyo meander along, sniffing to their hearts’ content & getting tons of treats & water along the way) of his DSA Pack Dog title.
I’m also just about to submit the information for his ‘Dog In Training’ (‘Pre-Novice’) Parkour title, through the International Dog Parkour organization. It amazes me how willing the little guy is to work!
Here’s a link to a montage of his Parkour activities
Training Toka 
I’d say Toka’s adorable–but he’s kinda big for that particular adjective at this point! Handsome is much more appropriate.
And, clearly, talented. What a good boy.
His ears were a tad wonky at the start of the balance exercise but he rallied and relaxed.
And, that blue harness of his–very smart looking!
