[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - so dog is 73 pounds at 1 and eats 6 cups a day. I assume given the large breeds in her she will probably gain another 10-15 pounds.

Dh has right now taken on a little bit more but we will see when we get home if this sticks. It actually is easier when we are home because we have a routine and the kids are all in school. The worst is when the kids are home because then I need to take care of the kids and the dog.

Dog is not destructive where we are but tries to chase the cat who lives in the house we are staying at and so we keep her on a leash. She is fully crate trained and is in a crate when we can’t watch her.

So for now I guess we are keeping her since dh refuses to rehome her. At home our schedule is walking 1 miles in the morning to the bus stop, an hour at the dog park mid day (we go to a very small underused one and only meet up with dogs who she is already friendly with. If there is an unknown dog we leave) and running 2-3 miles in the afternoon. Then probably one more walk before bed that is less than a mile. [/quote]

I am amazed you aren't worried that one day you dog is going to bite one of your kids or their friends who are over at your house you are going to regret not getting rid of the dog.

Why would you want a dog you have to keep in a crate when you can't watch it? That is why the dog needs so many walks. The dog would have a much better life living with someone who doesn't have little kids so the dog could roam around the house and backyard all day and not spend so much time in a crate. [/quote]
