She’ll be 4 months on November 19th. She’s currently 21lbs and 17” top of shoulder. We feed her 3 cups a day of Eukanuba Puppy Large Breed. Not sure if she’s hungry, but she is a heavy counter and floor surfer, and we’ve been working through that. Chalk it up to being a puppy? But maybe we aren’t fe...
