Dobies have unique feet that's for sure. Nails too. Is it weird that I adore her feet? :D

That's always the FIRST thing people see about Mila too. And around that is the comment, "she is gonna be big!" Then her facial expressions are next, haha. And yes, girth is the correct reference. That's what I'm talking about. I actually checked today and she's now 28.5 girth. I checked a...

I second that! haha That is a new talent. Sounds like he's like Mila in that way though. Some occasions she's fine, others she's a stinker. I swear their butts are there primary go to item. When playing with her, Mila loves (and I mean LOVES) to come over and place her butt right in my face...

How old is she? Mila was severely underweight when I got her. I just let her eat freely, but even now, she doesn't eat as much as she "should" according to charts. Much less.

Probably is. Seems like it is if that's when it happened. I remember our Shih Tzu Chewbacca (he's all black and yes, looks like a mini Wookie, lol) would go crazy when my mom left him. He still barks constantly if she takes him in the car and leaves him a moment, but now that he's older, the...

Oh gosh. I guess I'll take Mila's howl over that then. Even five minutes of being alone in my room yesterday made her howl to the moon, haha. But at least she didn't try to eat the walls or anything else.

Mila was like that. haha From the first time I brought her home, up until maybe 4 months? Did every command even before she learned them well, never caused problems. She'd sit sweetly and patiently until we gave her love. Leave the dogs and cat alone, didn't do too much. She was the sweetest...

Isn't his chest same? I know he's got an inch on height and a few lbs on her.

Fortunately having so many dogs through the years, we've got a lot of those garage sale finds too. Like 4-6 bags full of "extras" put away, lol. Lots of beanie toys (she likes sucking them more than destroying), and stuffed. Tons of tennis balls too. So far she's been pretty good about not...

Don't have pictures this week, but we have learned to kill toys. I was over here being all yay, my dog doesn't destroy her toys. And then . . . I'll just take that right back. Sigh. Granted Mila doesn't go out of her way to do it, but if she gets one tiny little mm sized hole with a stuffed...

I've had those bad momma moments, lol. I've done it to so many of the dogs so many times that "I" deserve a post on here.

That she does, lol. Shaming her is as effective as correcting the bad behavior. Just asking her, "Mila what did you do?" It's hard not to laugh though. Pouty face, "nobody loves me" face, and her shame face. Those are her best moves against us. That's when you have to force yourself not to give...

Ask Mila what's on her nose. Oh, can we not tell? That would be butter! There was more a minute ago. She decided that if I would keep her in the kitchen while I ate, she'd figure out how to flip the butter container.

@Horselady same. Trying to measure her was made easier by putting her on the counter because of that. It's like, yes! mom is on the floor! Today was the first for holding her nose there. I look behind me and she's just got her nose tucked between my legs while I'm washing my hands, lol. Just...

Now there is a quote for being a Dobermom. hahaha Washing my hands with her in the bathroom always means "rub the tip of my nose on my mom's butt." WHAT is that? haha It's like she's wiping her nose or something. I have no words. :rofl:

I'm the opposite. I've always free fed. I used to get so worried with my Australian Shepherd because she just didn't eat as much as "technically" she was supposed to. But she was always healthy. She was actually heavier (muscle weight) than most Aussies.

As long as they get exercise, I'm sure you won't have to worry. :) Thanks to Dobies having natural muscle bods, the calories are burned off when they play. Dogs don't gain weight unless they literally sleep the day away. I've had maaannnnyyy dogs in my life and that's the only reason one became...

I seriously love those names. I like the extra size information too. Really is hard to tell a Doberman's size from photos alone. They always look full grown, even as youngsters.
