Today, Sarge is way bigger than Hondo, even though they are still best buddies and play like little puppies. But Sarge takes up most of the couch now and even has to just back up and sit on it like a person when Hondo is lying down on it. I know I could never pick him up now, as I could barely lift him when I brought him home.
