Tuesday can’t come soon enough LOL I NEED to know.

I’m gonna bring some REALLY good, high value treats with me too to help get him on the scale and HOLD STILL LOL he usually goes on the scale okay, with a little coaxing, but doesn’t always hold still or at least not long enough. LOL

Awww yay! He looks so big how old is he now? Weight?

Yeah, 8 months! Not sure about weight, but at the very least 70 lbs. When he stands up he's almost as tall as me! I'm 5'9".

He is gonna be such a big boy!!!!! 70 pounds at 8 months… (I admit I’m a tad jealous also I think the German shepherd part is super cool)

IKR!?

 

[ShrekDawg]

I guarantee Brewster is going to be at least 75 lbs this year. Possibly even break 80. Last year he was 74 something and I’m pretty sure he’s gained weight since then.

Lol, yeah it's kind of insane. When I sit upright on the ground and he sits next to me, he's a couple of inches taller, too. He's so far outside the growth charts of both breeds.
He's getting in neutered September or October. I'm really hoping it calms him down even just a little tiny bit. He still can't be loose inside because he is so energetic and huge. HOPEfully, after the neutering he can get acclimated to being inside (especially as Winter rolls in in November) and be a bit more adjusted by the time we have the baby at the end of January. I'm not too concerned because he's really amazing about his crate, going in when asked, and being in there a long time if he absolutely has to. More enrichment activities if he does have to be stuck in there though, of course.
If he gets to the point where he can start being loose inside with a bit of sanity, I expect we'll just stick a baby gate across the hall entrance.
It's just energy energy energy all the time, and he wants to run run run, then flop down, then run and flop and run and flop. He's too big to do that in here, for sure!
