I guess they all have to grow up someday, right? It is just too fast!

She was a scraggly mess going in due to perhaps poor-timing of her spay surgery in the "grooming cycle." LOL.

I haven't shared in a while, and I finally got some daylight photos of her the other day. She will be 1 year old this month:

I think she's beautiful.

BIG DOG! (she's got that awful bracelet the vet gave her during surgery. grumble.) You can see how skinny she is here. The groomer left her a little long so it wouldn't show so much. She's down to 37 lbs. No longer losing, though!

The "Look."

The Long, Long, Nose.

Wondering if I'm going to have this thing in her face all afternoon.

Over having her photos taken.

Aww what a pretty girl! I think i missed your post on why she is only 37 pounds? Did she get sick? Is she ok now?

Thank you.

The short of it is tummy troubles off and on since November. Then @#*$ vet (we used for spay) gave me pain meds for her that make her sick again, on top of already not eating for a day for the surgery. I think b/c her dog food formula changed, but I'm not sure. We're back to our regular holistic vet who told us to do an entire 6 months of chicken, rice, supplements (and now egg since she's not gaining) to settle her tummy then start figuring out a long-term diet. I think her high was 42 lbs before she got sick, but she was 41 before her spay.
