Oh, no, not **Air Bud** or any of the Bud puppy movies. I’ve never seen one, and never plan to watch one. Fortunately my grandson was never interested. Now he’s 16, so he’s mainly interested in action, gore and sex. The last movie we watched together was _The Big Lebowski_. He loved it. He still doesn’t know what happened, but he loved it. ---
