State of the Coonhound : mostly a photoupdate

[bunn]

Darwin has settled in very well.  Az has decided he will put up with him, the cats consider him to be a sort of walking cushion, and I think Mollydog quite likes him. 





Weird feet! 


Is it my imagination that he looks very slightly less lumpy?


I think she quite likes him... Mollydog is about a kilo and a half lighter than Darwin, but she looks huge compared to him in this pic. 



 He's still drinking rather a lot - between 2 & 3 litres a day.  It is a bit of a worry that this might indicate diabetes or Cushings disease....  He had a test for Cushings recently which came back negative, and I'm waiting for the results of the urine test.  It is possible this is partly behavioural : he was crated without water, so to some degree it is understandable that he might be inclined to fill up on water since it's available.  He has drunk a bit less today - only about 2 litres - so fingers crossed.

I can't quite get a handle on how big he is. He appears huge in some shots and less so in others. Would an overweight lab be a good comparison? He does look a very loveable character, whatever his size.

He was 29.5 kilos last week - which I think would actually be a medium lab? Obviously a more dumpy shape than many labs. :-D

Mollydog is around 28 kilos and she's a smallish greyhound, but Darwin has tried walking underneath her a couple of times. He doesn't really fit... :-D
