We moved last year to a house with a big yard. Now Hercules gets unlimited grass and has been growing a tremendous amount. When I first got him, his name seemed a big ridiculous, but now it is looking a lot more fitting. Here is him with Manzi. At this point, Manzi was incredibly curious at the little, shy guy. Several years later, Hercules began to get old enough to defend himself with the birds. Here he is with Maui. He used to chase her quite a bit. She would drop food, then try getting to it before Hercules. If Maui got to it first, Hercules learned that he could chase her away.

This is him, loving his new home. It was taken 6 months ago (when he weighed in at 30 lbs): Now with free access to grass and year round warm weather, Hercules is getting huge. He weighs 45 lbs, and still thinks he is a dog, following us around when ever we are outside with him. He doesn't realize that now it hurts when he accidentally stands on our feet. He is standing underneath our patio table. Those are not chair legs, they are the legs of the table. Attachments:

He is supposed to max out around 200lbs. He doubles in size every year, so his growth seemed really slow at first (he's 10 years old), but since the beginning of this year he's gained over 10 lbs.

Amazing time line of photos Adele.
In the hand picture, how old is he?
At what age did you get him?

Thanks!
I got him when he was 1.5 weeks old. I took that photo a few days later, so he was about 2 weeks old.
