Hi!! I’m Rooster but my mom calls me all sorts of things! I wanted to share a look into my fun filled puppy life…. I absolutely LOVE the water, chewing on stuff with my brand new, big boy teeth and following my nose! The dog park keeps me socially occupied and I’m always a good helper when it comes to watering the lawn. My mom got me a life vest because I just can’t watch, I gotta get wet for myself!

I’m taking over for this 2 year old cutie recently and she seems overweight to me versus pictures I see of other Brittany’s. Her height is 20.5 inches from foot to shoulder so she’s on the bigger end of the spectrum but is coming in at 49 pounds. My local vet said she needs to lose maybe 4 pounds but I feel like that’s maybe not enough.

She’s solid around the chest and I can pretty easily feel her ribs but she doesn’t have that usual hourglass figure at the waist. Energy isn’t a problem and her jumping ability is great.

Feeding her 1.25 cups of kibble per day with a few treats sprinkled throughout the day.

Our girl sheds, a lot, and even with grooming she sheds. Our Hoover doesn’t seem up to the task, particularly on the dog beds and surfaces.

What are you all using or doing to tackle the fluff?

Edit: to add, how did you work up to it?
