I keep asking Mila where that tiny thing I first saw went? Lol This morning was cold so she didn't want to sit still and cooperate for photos. Little booger kept taking off on me, haha.

They grow up so quickly. I look at pictures when they first got here and marvel at how fast they developed. I do not miss their gator teeth though. Lol

Miesha looks fabulous @Prushanks! Love the pics!

We weighed Luna today and she's lost 2 or 3 pounds - my lip was quivering when I did the math in my head. Pretty gutted. I don't know if it's because of the itchy allergy thing going on or what. We are just starting a transition to a new food so maybe that will help? I swear I'm going to start feeding her large quantities of shredded cheese (which she loves and only gets a tiny bit for a rare treat). Or maybe Kentucky Fried Chicken which is notoriously high in calories!?

 

[NikiL02]

McDonald's cheeseburgers seems to do it for people? LOL (I kid! I kid!)

Oh Nero pictures.

She's beautiful perfect weight too !

Of course just one day after talking about "calming down" a bit with the daily worries over Jax, I panicked about what we think are allergies and went to the vet...the point of this little story is ...
while at the vet, I got him to step on the scale; right at one year, Jax weighs 90 pounds. I haven't measured his height in a while; I keep meaning to and then I forget.
He looks and feels great. I just really hope he doesn't gain too much more weight with age...it scares me to death and I worry about it every day.
I suppose I won't track his weight here anymore!!...he acts like a puppy but doesn't look like one, and this is where I like to see the pics/stories of the "young'uns" whose weight seems to change daily!

He's still going to fill out for a few years, but he's at a good weight now for a boy. I still post our dogs adult weights from time to time for future reference for puppy owners to see how they mature so keep going.

I wouldn't worry too much here's my 'chart'
EU male
5 months 63 lbs
6 months 70 lbs
7 months 80 lbs
8 months 85 lbs
9 months 90 lbs 28"
15 months 90 lbs 28" holding steady
18 months 93 lbs 28"
21 months 94 lbs 28"

Like Jan said It is nice to continue posting weights for your own and for others.

Finally getting to be less nippy. She mouths occasionally, but the actual clamping down is much less, which I'm super happy about.

 

[Bashthebluedobe]

Haha...I was concerned about Bash at 9 weeks only weighing 15 lbs. Everything I read said he should weigh 10 lb. increments per month.

Just turned 3 months and weighs 29.9 lbs.

That's actually what turned me on to this forum. I saw many others varied before eventually getting on track.

She is darling, but you can see the 'What can I get into' look in her eyes. Lol

Her ear is doing EXACTLY what Nero's does. That little front crease. LOL

I dunno how he gained so much weight! He barely ate anything all week! His legs seem to have sprouted again though.

 

[alphafemale]

I have no idea what you're talking about @Tropicalbri's . She is a perfect angel . . . while she's sleeping, haha. Her favorite game is nitpicking the Shih Tzus. Fooorrrrtunately, she hasn't been as destructive as I expected her to be. Watch, I say that, then will come back stating the opposite next week, lol. Geez, our male Shih Tzu Chewbacca was horrid for a good few years. He still can be! He's the only dog of ours she competes with now size wise, of course she is much taller. Took these couple nights ago while he gave her a moment. He's become like her daddy. (He's overdue for a hair cut so he looks bigger, but he's about 18 lbs.)

@NikiL02 I noticed that last week. Last night her left ear decided it wanted to stand half up, then they both evened out again. So funny.

 

[NikiL02]

Almost 15 wks!!



At least his ears balanced out as being wonky. LOL!!! If I were to tape them down, when would I do that?

Oh I measured him and he's almost 20" high (he was eating and it was 19.5)

 

[Viemarangelrock]

@NikiL02

Here's a thread on taping down ears...

Taping natural ears

Looks like you can get some great information and help from that thread about taping natural ears.

I can't see any reason why you should delay? The sooner the better

Since I failed at getting a standing photo of her to share body growth, here's a horizontal view, haha.

I'll also include her shame face shot. Don't know why she gave me the look, but it's so funny. She holds her ears like that to get even more pitiful looking, haha. Shows how well her face is beginning to fill out. It's fascinating how much her nose fills out separately from the top of her head and face. It's like her body. She goes uuupppp, then fills out. Then goes upppp, then fills out.
