My mom bought some diapers that are supposed to fit German Shepherds and they are too small surprisingly. I had an ol pair of my undies (like bikini bottoms style) that I'd used on our biggest female shih tzu I'm now trying. That one is funky and slips too much, but it's decent. I may try...

@GennyB , @Regalis thank you. :) The ribs and bones are usually what I go by. Since like @FirstTimeDober3 she's my first, the lean look is new to me, I have noticed to pay more attention to her bone structure. I think one of the most important things with weight on dogs that I've noticed is...

I don't know about Dobers, but our Shih Tzus get stuff that looks like that. If you watch it and it starts to open up (like a blackhead look) or swells, the vet may need to drain and clean. On our Shih Tzus they are cysts. Sort of like a cyst pimple. Sebaceous cyst is what they are called. COULD...

Nope. We're still waiting. Vet figured it may be around this time, but so far nothing. Got an updated picture just now (she's listening to neighbors). She looks good so I'm not too concerned. Healthy appetite too. We plan to spay after her heat too so we're watching for it.

Mila will be 10 months on the 19th. She's been having tummy aches a lot (stuff she gets into in the darn yard) so she too is having issues keeping weight on. Just weighed her. 54 lbs. Same height as Willow though.

I think that is the most entertaining part about leaving them completely natural and not training them to lay flat. Sometimes one will even stand all day on its own so she'll look like some odd pharaoh hound or bat dog with how big it is, haha. NEVER know how they'll turn out each day. Course if...

Okay, got a few vids to share of the booger butt. I have no idea what her ears are up to, haha. The dober stalk. Why? Because why not harass your mom for videoing you all the time? Every night lately, Mila's been doing this to me while I brush my teeth at night. It's sweet as heck. Normally...

She looks great to me. Mila was skin and bones and 10 lbs when we got her around 9 weeks. I agree with the others. With how quickly Mila gained weight, it was by looking at her when she was that young that you got to see how bad she was.

Happy Birthday!

:pt: Happy Birthday!

He's so cute. "Dooooo something!" Mila will do that sometimes and I have ZERO idea what she's barking at.

We are now at 26" at the shoulder. Haven't weighed Mila lately, but I'll do it at 9 months. (The 19th.)

Oh she is cuuuuttte. I love that name. Now you'll be yelling "stelllllaaaaaa!" haha

I just put Mila on the bathroom counter, have her stand, then wrap a tape measure around her. Do it slightly behind the front leg/shoulder area, at the widest spot. I sit i an inch or so behind her armpits that the tape measure sits. Just like you'd do to measure for shirts and such. Chest/girth...

Welcome from WA! Love that you have an app for it.

And heavier. Mila's starting to get muscle tone in her backside to that frankly makes me envious, lol.

Okay, so apparently I was off. I thought she'd be much less. Week ago she was almost 10 lbs less. Mila @ 8 months, as of Feb 19th. Weight: 62.8 lbs Height: 25.5" (when I do it by wall, she's 26" so dunno) Chest: 29.5" Neck: 17.25

Sorry, been overtly busy. I'll try and update soon on Mila's progress. Don't think Mila is too far off Nero's latest, save for her weight.

Those are adorable! Never thought about swimsuit bottoms. Good idea.

I plan on waiting for Mila too. Even debating not getting her spayed, BUT if they are anything like our female shih tzus? It's so incredibly hard on all of us. 3 weeks + 1. 1st week, swelling and irritability with some blood, 2nd is heavy blood, 3rd a creamy blood (can get pregnant during that...
