Seemed like a good fit

That's cute! We picked Rainer because my brother insisted that he must have a German name since he is German and that is the only German name I could really live with lol It suits him though. Did you know that the name means "deciding warrior" ?

My Rainer weighed 18lbs at around 10 weeks I believe. He is 11.5 months old now and weighs 84ish lbs.

Here's Rainer at about 13 weeks.. Last week he weighed in at 33lbs. His left ear was laying on top of his head, but has since decided to flop back down.. I hope they both pop up soon!
