Duma had her appointment with the vet to get her annual shots last week. First of all, I can’t believe it’s been over a year since we got this cute baby!!!
She’s gone from a cutie patutie 10 pounder to a grown up 70 pounder! Yup, she weighed in at 70 pounds at the vet last week. And do you know what the vet said? She said she was a bit “girthy” - that she needed a bit more of a waist. WHAT?! I can’t believe she called my precious baby fat! She gets walks every day, or at least gets to run off leash at the park chasing balls until she passes out. How could anyone ever call this cute thing girthy…
She’s just a growing puppy, with maybe a hint of winter weight left, or maybe it’s just poofy fur 
Which, on a totally unrelated note, reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Ice Age …
Sid: Well, I think you’re stressed, and that’s why you eat so much. I mean, it’s hard to get fat on a vegan diet.
Manny: I’m not fat. It’s all this hair. It makes me look - poofy!
Sid: Fine. You have fat hair. But when you’re ready to talk, I’m here.
I’m thinking she looks pretty darn good for a lab! With Reggie our vet would say something if he gained 1 POUND in a year. For his size she wanted him at 74 pounds. Luckily it was pretty easy to do. Mocha is smaller so she probably needs do stay between 60-65 pounds. But the vet always said she sees these labs get fatter each year and it just causes problems. I’d say good work. Besides - they never really fill out completely until they are 2 years old. She has another year.
She doesn’t look fat at all! She’s adorable!
I’ve seen her in person and she is not over weight at all!!!
