What’s a ‘day in the life’ of Bauer like? With four kids in the house life is kinda crazy. There is always lots of activity and very little downtime. Lately Bauer is loving life with everyone home all of the time. He gets lots of walks, lots of treats and lots of play time. At the end of the day Bauer crashes out on the couch and hangs with he fam. He unwinds by watching TV.

Bauer is extra good at holding things in his mouth! How did you train him to do that trick? Bauer is such a good boy. We’ve been taking pictures of him since day one. The minute the phone comes out to take a picture he freezes. It just happened over time. The more pictures we took of him the better he became at holding still.

What is Bauer’s favorite toy? Lamby’s of all sizes.
