She's getting BIG!
I figure it's time for an update 
Mylie has been growing like a weed since I brought her home, I had a feeling since around her 3 month birthday that she was going to be big for a female shiba... So in my research I figured a female shiba would be around 17lbs. Well we got on the scale today and Mylie is at an impressive 24.4lbs and still growing!!! She's leggy, so she's taller than average, and I exercise her SOOOO much that's she's more muscular and probably stronger than I am. I'm amazed at her size. She'll be 9 months old on December 8th and is doing surprisingly well so far with her teenage rebellion. She gets out of line every once in a while, about once a week, but a stern warning puts her right back in place.
So just to give you an idea, the couch Mylie is lying on is HUGE and that cushion is half the size of the couch; it's big enough for both myself at about 115lbs and my fiance whose 170lbs to sit side by side comfortably, only taking up the one cushion:
....And here's the most recent picture of my baby
She's certainly come a very long way from this!

I like the 2nd photo a lot!
Mylie has really grown up into a beautiful lady. And she was such a cutie as a puppy, too!
It must be the raw, it really brings out a new kind of healthy for a dog - congrats on the switch! have you tried raw green tripe yet?! hmmmm! I just hacked at a 5lb hunk of it this weekend!
Soon she'll be going off to college, then wanting her own apartment...wait. nvm.
What a pretty lady
