When we got Mia, the rescue group said she was around 7.5 - 8 months in September. Back then she weighed around 45 pounds and were told she could gain another 10 pounds more or less. She's closing in on a year old now and she's only 46-47 pounds, but may be slightly taller. We are sort of thinking that she may have been older than we thought when we first got her. Is her growth stunted? Is she as big as she's going to get? We started feeding her extra food this week, and this is on top of the extra food we started feeding her back in November but she is still very lean. She's now eating 1.5 cups of dry food with 1/2 cup of wet food mixed in. It's like gourmet, I'm telling you... all dogs would be jealous of her dinners. We also still give her peanut butter filled kongs but not as often as before, and she does get treats everyday at daycare and at home. She apparently burns a lot of calories still...
