In this corner, in the red and white fur, at 8 months old, weighing in at...

ONE HUNDRED POUNDS!

Yes, it's OSCAR!

Last night, we brought Oscar to the vet because he was having some tummy-problems. He's a tough dog, but he has the intestinal fortitude of a garden worm (or some other animal that food goes right through). Oscar unfortunately just can't eat any types of rich food (potentially including peanut butter... its going to be tough replacing that favorite snack).


At the beginning of the exam, we got Oscar on the scale and our jaws dropped as the indicator went into triple-digits. I'm mad that I forgot to take a picture of him on the scale. Okay, so officially, the scale read 98.8 lbs once it balanced, but I'm pretty sure over the last 24 hours, he's gained that extra 1.2 lbs...

Prior to yesterday, we incorrectly estimated that he weighed roughly 85 lbs, and estimated a potential final weight around 115 lbs... guess we were wrong. I'm not sure if he's going to get up to 130 lbs, but given his rate of weight gain, all bets are currently off.
