1. You have GOT to quit feeding them hormone-injected beef!!!!!
E-FUCKING-GADS!

Of course, I've got a border collie who weighs 77 lbs and a sheltie who weighs about 23 lbs, so combined THEY weigh 100 lbs.

3. They're gorgeous!
And, while not exactly "normal", not out of the question either.

My vet actually had me take my Lab pup off "special" food (it was just Eukanuba!) because he was growing so fast. Ultimately my Beau got to 114 lbs of pure ripped muscle. The yellow one looks just like him. Enjoy!

And yeah, those paws are the give away - these are going to be seriously large dogs. :)

5. they have been on Iams Smart Puppy but Iams has a supply issue
so this week I started feeding them real chicken, turkey, carrots, spinach and rice. They seem more energetic.

The mother was on the small side for a Lab but I haven't seen the father. have only heard that he is "large."

11. Cooked oatmeal and a tablespoon of canned (plain, not spiced) pumpkin
I've read that pumpkin is good for preventing either extreme of poop- loose, or bound-up.
Be sure to add some oil, cod-liver, or flax seed but buy the kind in the store refrigerator, and store it in yours.

12. Those are going to be some pretty large dogs when they are full grown.
:)
Jenna, my friend/caretaker has an aunt who has two dogs, one a golden and one black. They resemble your two very much, especially your black dog. Their names are Matty and Bear.

The black one looks SO MUCH like Bear when Bear was younger! He was the sweetest, most beautiful, friendliest dog, who loved to follow me around and lay his head in my lap for an hour at a time for petting and love. he was a Street dog she rescued, and they had him for the past 6 years. They only discovered 4 weeks ago that he has spinal cancer, and it moved incredibly quickly, suddenly he couldn't walk and was in pain. This morning they had to put him to sleep. :cry:

I hope so very, very much that your beautiful dogs Never have any kind of serious health problems. May they be happy and health and active and playful for all their very long, long lives with you!

:hug: :loveya:
