That sir is a bear. =)

Are there more pics?

Of the puppy or him eating? I have tons of pictures of him. Gotta take them while he is still 'little'!

The puppy doing any activity.

Albums. Show 'em.

I've owned two Alaskan Malamutes now.. I've always feared the possibility of them getting bloat from eating too quickly. There are products out there that are supposed to slow them down to prevent it, but from talks with other large breed owners, one of the best things you can do is to make them eat laying down. You're doing it right!

I was told to make them eat standing up, have their food propped up higher to help digestion. But my malamute won't eat any other way than laying down, and I just let her eat however she wants....

i was told something to the opposite of that.. that raised bowls can allow them to eat faster potentially make it more of a risk. I had a 10 year old malamute that I had him eat from raised bowls the last couple years because of mobility.. and he didn't do anything fast anyway. miss that guy :)

Huh. Who knows? Well I just feel if they want to eat laying down, so be it. Its a small pleasure I shouldn't take away. They're amazing dogs! But they never fully leave you when they're gone...

We always just thought he was being a puppy. That's good to know!

Standard poodle :) 6.5 months old

::edit:: he is getting haircut tomorrow, right now it makes him look way more giant than he really is

I just lay on the couch, equally as dignified.
