Layla approx 5 months (rescue)

Weighed Layla on Monday and forgot to update you, she weighed on Monday 15,85 kgs or 35lbs. She's grown so much in height but she's skinny, loads of loose skin too. You can see her in action in the video I posted of her in the park in thread I posted yesterday. Eats like a horse though, feeding four times a day because she's so hungry. Vet told me that sometimes with dogs who have a rough start as puppies (which Layla did have) if they are fed right they will grow just fine. He said if its in her genes to be big thats what she will be. Sigh and the rescue told me she would never weigh even 20kgs (44lbs) as she was so tiny when they rescued her. I thought I was gonna have a little "miniature" dobe, i guess not.
 
Lily at 9 weeks was 15 lbs. I think she seems small for her age, then I saw Chloe is about the same at 9 weeks. Itty Bitty puppy club hehe

Layla being a rescue from a woman who claimed she was a mistake and was giving her away, we are certain we were lied to about her age. She claimed Layla was 8 weeks but she was more like 4/5 weeks when the rescue got her and she weighed around 9lbs or 4.5 kgs then and was severely underweight and bitten by her older GSD pups. In the seven weeks I have had her ( I got her at roughly 12 weeks of age) she has put on a kilogram a week or 2,2lbs. I can grab at least three handfuls of loose skin from her back. She stands at around 55cm tall now.
 
Took Layla to the vet today for shots and general check up and of course weighed her. :D

So she is approx 5,5 months and weighs around 16,5kgs or 36,4lbs. She has gained 0,7kg or 1,5lbs in a week. Vet says she looks to be at around half her adult weight which means she should weigh around 33Kgs or 73lbs as an adult I am more then fine with that.
 
Weighed Layla before she got spayed this morning at the vet, on a very empty stomach (shame poor pup), she is now 17.8kgs or 39.2lbs which means she put on 1,3kg or almost 3lbs in a week. She has grown in height too, she is now 58cm or 22.8 inches. She is a very lean girl but healthy as a lark. Layla will be 6 months next week.
 
A few corrections on dates... the above picture was today Oct 3 and that is at 19 weeks...,. below are the correct weights and dates

Sept 2 Zues at 15 weeks is 31.5 lbs and 20" at base of neck... doggy shoulder blades
Sept 12 Zeus at 16 weeks..... 36 lbs and 20" + inches at the shoulders
Oct 3 Zeus at 19 weeks.... 47 lbs and 22" at the shoulders.
 
My Zeus is 6months old and is 22 1/2 inches at the shoulders but he weighs only 32lbs, he is not overly skinny. You can feel his ribs if you rubbed your hand over them but they are not visibly noticeable. And he also eats like a cow. :(
