We have a soon to be six month old mixed breed female. She is basically half Australian Shepherd and half German/belgian malinois mix. The aussie breeds combined with the German/Belgian combine to about 97%.

When she hits 6 months, she will be about 38-40 lbs. I’ve read that 6 months is a much better indicator for final adult size than four months, especially for larger breeds. What can I expect growth wise? I’ve read you can multiply 1.5 to 1.7 times the six month marker and come up with a reasonably accurate final rate but I don’t know how accurate that is.

I’m mid 40s, married without children. It takes only a few days before my sleep schedule changes to some type of medieval hybrid. My normal routine is 11:30- 7 sleep schedule,give or take 30 minutes each way.

Less than a week into break, and I am going to be somewhere around 2 am, waking up usually around 7-8 am. I will take an afternoon nap of 90 minutes usually, sometimes more, and then rinse and repeat. It’s the schedule that seems fairly natural to me.
