Who knew a log could be so much fun? Baylor did. He watches Tucker push and roll the massive logs and tree limbs around the yard like they are twigs. He is a long way from pushing them like Tucker, but that does not mean they are not fun. The logs do make good belly scratchers or back and side scratchers. The logs make good obstacles when Baylor is being chased by Tucker as well. They help to slow him down. Tipping the scales at 540 pounds, Baylor is healthy and continues to grow. He has gained over 200 pounds since he was born on May 4.
