Ryder says HELLO!

Hi guys! I know it's been a while. Ryder is doing good. He's grown into a stocky, big boned boy. He's about 90lbs. He is definitely a BIG baby. He is definitely "my" kid, always being with me, etc. I don't mind it, it's nice to have company and to have a dog that wants to be with me and just hang out by my side and watch the "world go by." Enjoy a couple pictures of him! :)

Haha yep! I don't mind it one bit.

Just if anyone's wondering - We don't overfeed him with food. He isn't allowed any human food. Except vegetables or fruits. I think we just have given up and agreed that he's just how he is. He is just big boned. We thought we could get him to lose down 10lbs, but it's been a steady 89-90lbs for about 6-7 months now. Oh well, I love my big cuddly boy. :)

He is just absolutely gorgeous!!!!

Thanks! Did your vet tell you to get him to lose 10-30lbs?! Our did! We thought he was crazy. Ryder's parents were 75lbs and 95lbs. They were also the same body build like Ryder is! Eesh. :p

Hello, Ryder, sweetie guy! (((HUGS))) I like all these pictures of you, and the ones of you and your mom! Especially the one of you together on the sidewalk :love: Happy summer! XO

Nope the vet didn't say anything. But back then we had a farm vet who didn't really do more than give him his shots :rolleyes:

Oh My! What a handsome dog you are Ryder! I enjoyed all the pics. Thanks.

Hi Ryder! You're a handsome boy!:D

Ryder sure has grown up to be one big handsome boy. Thank you for sharing pictures of him & you. A dog that purrs, LOL, now that is one content dog.

Wow, he is just stunning!! I love his build. And he doesn't look fat at all, he's just big!

Hello handsome Ryder!! :D

Did you see today's kitty? He kinda shares Ryder's name - and coloring!
