This dog is looooong!!!!! Is it normal for German Shepherd's to be this long?

Mckandre:
thank God m not alone. It seems its a common threat among GSDs.

Hahaha I think so. It's really annoying

You've got 6 cats and 3 dogs and your house isn't a warzone

I had a female Doberman (foxy) and a male rott (rogers) that managed to kill everything except my hedgehog. Every kill was a hit back to back, from the turkeys, neighbour's cats, goats and my monkey (bonzo)...story for another day.

The funny part is they made it impossible to stay mad at them for long. They weren't savages, very obedient but their prey drive was off the charts. How do you get your dogs and cats to cohabit without any incident?

Haha nope, no warzone here. All my cats have been raised with dogs so they are able to cohabit without any problem. It's important to introduce them together at a very young age and even encourage them to feed together so it helps the bonding process.

Saw this picture on instagram and it really made me laugh because it's so true. I'm sure there are others who feel the same way

The Road to recovery

It's been really hard getting Shadow back to his normal weight. Loosing almost 10kg in 2 weeks was very drastic and scary. As he started getting better and I noticed his appetite was coming back, I didn't want to over load him with food. I started gradually giving him little food and then increasing the amount everyday. Unfortunately the butchers where I get chicken for shadow are having problems with their cold room so i have been unable to continue with his high protein diet. I opted to buy josera puppy food ( since technically at one year he's still considered a puppy). I mix it with can food and he seems to like this combo so far. It'll have to do for now. I have noticed he has definitely put on weight. I'm actually anxious to know how much but I'll have to wait till the month end because thats when he gets weighed by the vet. Feeding him chicken, aside from being better for dogs was/is actually cheaper than buying commercial dog food. I spend almost half of what i am spending right now when I buy chicken for him. Its more work though, in terms of preparing and storing it but definitely worth it. Ever since the he fractured his leg and tick fever i stopped walking shadow. I think I'll resume next week. I'm sure it's going to be "fun" walking him again after a while.

Not quite there yet but definitely looking much better.

Counter-intuitively, a high protein diet is actually not good for weight gain. Many owners of fat dogs have said that their dogs lost weight after they switched to a raw diet. When I tried to fatten my dog with a raw diet, it didn't work. Once he ate a certain amount, he would start rejecting food. Which is embarrassing (and very funny, really) when the food in question is a juicy piece of Orobo chicken lap. Raw food is not fattening.

The secret to weight gain is the same for cows, chickens, human beings, and dogs: starchy food. It's so easy to digest and full of calories. Our family dogs are the fattest and yet most hyper-active dogs I have ever seen. Their staple food is rice and shawa fish, cooked and mixed up. I've also read that feeding a lot of puppy food to an adult dog can lead to weight gain, because puppy food is very rich, so you're on the right track.

Yes you are right, raw food isn't fattening at all. It just builds muscle mass which is what I want. Carbs like you said are full of calories but they are just empty calories. And for Mr Destroyer who is already so hyper giving him carbs would just make him super hyper. I might try this shawa fish and see if he likes it. Maybe I can mix it with the dry food.

Bobbysax is lucky to have you as one of his customers and to noted that Shadow was bought from him. The best PR any company/kennel can have.
Your story about show is one of the best if not the best , thanks to everyone's contribution and your excellent writing/communication skills. I have learnt n still learning

Oh, that knucklehead.

blasiangurl85 i so admire your gsd ooooo so cute.i have always insit that i must get my dog from this bobbysaxy anytime am ready because he always have good dogs regardless of any controversy associated with him.

When I initially saw this post, I wanted to skip but got pushed by something to read, and I have to say I'm happy I did. The writing is so well constructed and each detail about shadow easy to comprehend. I've definitely learnt something from this dairy and I hope to learn more because I'll keep on reading. I plan on being a proud dog owner like you someday, and I pray I get a dog as beautiful asas shadow. More power to your elbow
