Bwah-ah-ah - just looked up the husky standard on AKC. Frosti is 23" at the haunches so they're both out! Giving up my dreams of show dogs. hehe

Chili is tall! That's probably a good weight for him, then. It's funny what you said about him slouching - I know just what you mean.

Storm's thyroid meds have been cut down to every other TWO days now for the past week...we checked his weight today, and he's still maintaining at 77.8 lbs!

Woo hoo!

Woohoo! Go Storm! That's awesome!

I think Frosti gained weight because my seatbelt warning beeper came on this morning when she was harnessed into the passenger seat. I looked it up and the weight limit is 65 lbs at which it turns the airbag on again! She was 51 at the vet 3 weeks ago so I doubt it....

I'm so done with being sick. Three weeks is just not cool.

Storm had his semi-annual check up at the vet today....

He weighed in at 76.7 lbs and his thyroid meds have been dropped down to 1/2 a pill every 3 days now....

I've also switched him to Orijen Senior.

Tara was at the vets today while I was there (Tara is the girl that runs the rescue that I adopted Storm from). She is just SO amazed at how far Storm has come.

Tara also gave me a little more background on Storm - Other than his original owners, Storm had been in 2 other homes before coming to Colorado. At the first home he was adopted to, he was let loose on a 'ranch' and killed a chicken and cat, so he was returned, and then went into foster care. No one wanted him and they were getting desperate and then Tara took him 'at the 11th hour'. Tara had him 2 weeks until we came along and adopted him. When Tara told me he killed a chicken and a cat, I said, 'Huh! So wonder he and Ginger took me down TWICE! Once for a bunny and once for a squirrel!!'

We had a good laugh
She then apologized for not telling me about the chicken and cat

chicken and a cat! man oh man you do have your hands full!!!

great job on his weight and dropping the meds

I bet you look at him and are like "oh Storm, did you really do that?!" LOL! Those squirrels that come around your yard better watch their butts!

Yay, for the weight loss!! He looks amazing!! Mya is down to 47lbs, but she doesn't look that thin to me. Definitely no more weight loss for her! I think she actually should gain a pound or two now

Yay for Storm! And it's not his fault about the cat and chicken - any of our dogs would happily do the same! The difference is he has a responsible owner now!

I'm not sure what I did differently since January 20 (when I last weighed him, 76.7 lbs), but I took him to get his weight checked today, and I had to weigh him 3 times, and make sure the scale was zeroed out.

74.2 lbs



I think I might give him just a tad more food...



I also weighed Ginger and she has also lost 1.5 lbs so it's at least consistent with her too.

i thought they both looked great on Sunday! great job!

Could it be the colder temps? My pack always needs more calories in the winter, every winter I have to increase their food portions otherwise they start losing weight. Then I scale back to normal portions when warmer weather starts in spring.

Maybe they're just hiding their food so they can get some of those yummy goodies they just got...

Weight check for Storm yesterday and he's still holding 74.2 lbs

His thyroid meds are given only once every 4 days and soon to be once a week.
