Ellie is over a year and a half old. But seems to be getting larger. I've have bought her 3 sweaters and a jacket and they are all small now.

It's like the width of her chest keeps getting bigger?!?!

Now, when I got her she was thin. So, I knew she would fill out, but this is nuts.

I've spent a fair amount of money on shirts that were supposed to be for bulldogs and they don't fit :(

I guess I'm just going to have to find a place and have one made. Any suggestions of where?

They grow UP in the first year and then OUT in the second year..... that is why you are seeing her chest get wider.

toddler clothes some times work and there are some places that make for bullies on Etsy [MENTION=572]Libra926[/MENTION] may have a suggestion

I love her no matter what. She keeps getting wider and Jagger keeps getting heavier. I'm in for it :)

I don't know of an etsy store....but I think someone else mentioned a site on there. Orion is lucky....or unlucky if you ask her. She ends up with clothes from everybody who outgrows them....or buys them and they don't fit. I know she fits in a 4T football jersey.....cause I found one on clearance for 1.00.

Ellie isn't getting taller just wider, not gaining weight just spreading :)

Jagger isn't built as wider he's just HEAVY and only 10 months old lol

No not yet - when I first got her my vet would not do it. She had to gain weight. It's actually scheduled for next month
