Did anyone else's dog ever go through a second, lanky growth period around the year old mark?
Ryka was finally starting to fill out and look proportionate just before her first birthday. While she's definitely feminine in her build, she currently just looks like a bean pole of a teenager again. She's eating a higher caloric food and awhile back she was putting on weight because of it (she even had saggy teats!). Now she's eating more than before and still looks scrawny, plus acts like she's constantly starving. I'm having her dewormed just in case - and honestly I can't find anything in her poop despite dissecting it - but goodness does she ever look thin and awkward! Pictures don't even do it justice, because in photos she looks quite lovely. Or at least in my biased opinion
. It sounds bad, but I'm kind of hoping it's worms and not a growth period... I really don't want her to get any bigger. I always wanted a small rocket of a female, lol! Currently I have a large, adorable doofus.
