Luna – A Strong Predatory Drive

Luna has been showing some strong predatory drive, not only in social interactions with her pup mate (Stalking and Pouncing on Boltz), but whenever there is some fast movement that catches her eye, she is quick to react.  We will be doing our annual blood work on Luna to look at her nutritional status, specifically vitamin D.  All external indicators show that she is doing well.  Her coat is glossy, she is active, alert, clear eyes, strong teeth (personal experience tells me this), but we need to know medically how she is progressing.  We are very impressed with her weight.  Here is a progressive chart of her weight since she was a fall pup.  I don’t think anyone would have predicted her to be a 91 lb female.  There were days when we didn’t know if she would survive her first winter, but other than a slight limp, she seems to be thriving.

8/17/2014	Luna-Pup	44.5 lbs
6/4/2013	Luna – Yearling	79.4 lb
6/13/2014	Luna – 2 Years	91.7 lbs

For comparison purposes, here are Maya’s comparable weights, although Maya (born May 5, 2004) was very reluctant to get on the scale, so we missed he weights between 2 and 4 years of age:

8/8/2004	Maya – Fall Pup	38.8 lbs
5/6/2005	Maya – Yearling	79.5 lbs
7/7/2008	Maya – 4 Years	93.5 lbs
