Big Damn Dog

jadedmusingsSasha was spayed today. She's home now, recovering and doing very well. I can tell she's still feeling the effects of the drugs they gave her because she hasn't barked once, and she tends to bark at me every five minutes on a normal day. That and she's not jumping on the couch either.
They weighed her said she's now a whopping 38.5 pounds. That's another ten-pound weight gain since May, and she's only roughly six months old. The vet looked at her chart and at her teeth and said, "Oh yeah, she's going to be over fifty pounds." So I have enough heartworm meds and flea stuff for two more months. By that point she should be at fifty pounds or over and then I can just buy however much medicine I need for that weight range.
When I found her back in March, she fit inside both of my hands with room left over. Now her paw takes up the palm of one hand. And it's so weird to know she's only six months old, but she's now the same size as Penny, who is almost five years old.
What's really funny is watching her run away with her tail tucked between her legs from my neighbor's Shi Tzu, who is also roughly six months old. She's about three times his size, and when he barked at her the other day, she panicked and ran back toward the porch. I nearly fell over laughing because she's big and bad until another dog barks back. They started playing a few minutes later when he wandered into my yard (I supervised until his owner could come collect him).
When she's feeling better later this week, I'll take some pictures of her. She's turning into a gorgeous dog, even if she's going to be huge.
