Lucy had her second vet visit this past week, and we were eager to find out how much weight she had gained in the month that she had been with us. While the typical Great Dane can gain up to as much as 10lbs a week, Lucy's a bit slower growing. She's gained about 10lbs in the last 3 weeks, putting her at 36lbs. While she's MUCH bigger than she was a month ago, the slow growth large breed puppy formula food is definitely doing it's job, ensuring that her joints and bones have the least amount of stress during her first couple of years as possible. Lucy is also officially parasite free and only needs two more shots before she's done for the year! My wallet will be grateful to be done with vet visits for a while... She's eating 3 1/2 cups of food a day, we've discovered that she loves carrots (we have to give her one when we give them to Darla) and bananas.
This whole weekend, Lucy's been able to sleep with us at night because she's been so tuckered out by the end of the day and has been sleeping until our alarms go off! It's pretty cute when she starts to stir before we do, because she wiggles her way up to our pillows, puts her paws on our shoulders, and licks our faces until we wake up. I can think of worse ways to be woken up in the morning!
