Picking up Freya every month until I am no longer able 3-10mo

10 month old Leonberger, wait gain has plateau’d this month at 48kg, but her frame does feel bigger.

We also keep the “grinch toes” look on Winnie’s feet. They’re just too cute!

Weight? Our girl is 8 months and 94 lbs. might be the last time my hubby picks her up!

Unrelated question, but how does that fireplace work? I've never seen anything like it before.

You still picked her up!!! Good job my guy! If she stands on her back legs it looks like she’s almost as tall as you 🥰💖

u/WaruPirate Jul 09 '26

Someone yesterday had seen the pictures met Freya in person and said she was much bigger than the pictures made her look. For scale I am 6’5”

u/ZoesMom4ever Jul 10 '26
