whaaaa MN is totally midwest! Also the Dakotas-- I grew up in North Dakota-- and Nebraska? Possibly Kansas too, depending on who you’re asking.

I live in Minnesota :)

Midwest Dogblr

If you’re comfortable sharing, who of the American dogblrs lives in the Midwest? I would consider

Illinois Indiana Iowa Kentucky Michigan Minnesota (? maybe ?) Missouri Ohio Wisconsin

as Midwestern states. Feel free to reply also if you live in a state you consider Midwest, but that I didn’t list.

Personally, I was born and raised in central Indiana and am currently in northwest Indiana for college.

This is the same dog.

I made a friend today and in my head I kept calling him Rockefeller @feliscanis

It amazes me how different his ears look than Cosmia’s and her littermates at that age, and even the Taro x Nami litter pups, from what I’ve seen. I guess that’s probably Taro’s influence. Toutarou’s ears remind me more of the pictures I’ve seen of Nami as a pup?

One more of Toutarou. I think his face will clean up a little more than Nami’s, if I reference her puppy pictures. He might turn out the same as her in the body, but less red pigment in his coat (more of a yellow.)

He’s quite small, but he has a big personality. Very bold and curious.

I’ve had a hard time keeping weight on my girls, honestly. I think that may be an age thing, though-- they’re still in that awkward lanky teenage stage. Shoko just hit 15 months and for the past week or so I’ve realized “hey, you’re finally looking like a Real Dog!” She is sort of filling in and maturing now. So we’ll see how that affects her metabolism. How old is Ravi?

(I do know that Shoko’s best friend, Leo the Husky, has a hard time gaining weight too, according to his owner. He’s about 2 years old.)

Ancestry and Diet

Those of you with primitive breeds (sengis, huskies, pariah dogs, etc), do you notice that your pups seem to put on weight easily? Like do you feed less than the bag says you should or have to moniter weight a lot? Ravi seems to look at food and gain weight now that he is healthy and on good food. I’m just wondering how common it is for other dogs to have such an efficient metabolism. Calling @streetdogmillionaires @twobarklessdogs @huskyhuddle

Thanks!
