I get to bring both dogs to work with me, & when I get my pup he will be coming too. But with Nanook being so old & having a hard time manouvering he only comes on his better days.

Raustyk weighs about 82lbs. She does need to loose a few pounds, like about 78lbs would be perfect (and I swear the camera added a couple pounds too, she doesn't look that big in person).
She's a tiny bit over 26" at the withers, a little bigger than standards but she's a shelter girl who probably came from a bad BYB. I don't care she's my love bug!

She had both cruciates repaired on both back legs & has permanent fractures of some of her sesamoidal bones in her one front leg. She is also 7.5 years and all of this is *just* starting to catch up with her so I have decreased her exercise a bit the last half a year. I also changed her food at the begining of spring and she started to get bigger so she's back to our old food now.
Between the food changes & the decreased activity it's been a little of a challenge to get her weight adjusted properly. We're getting there, slow but sure.
