Hey everyone my name is Heather. I live in San Diego, CA and I have had Maxx for 1 week....he is now 9 weeks old!! I have so many questions!!! UUgghhh

Okay first off, his mom was 4lbs and he dad was 5 1/2. So the owner told me he would be between 4-5lbs.....well @ 8weeks I took him to the vert he weighed 2.6 lbs....according to formulas I looked up, he will be over 7lbs full grown, is this possible???? I am so confused!!!!

Also potty training.....we are using wee wee pads/crate training and he is just NOT getting it!!! Ha Ha I don't know what else to do. He is in his crate when I am not here, maybe 1-2 hours most a day, then he also goes in there to sleep. When he is out we have the pads, but he always goes on the carpet! I don't get it! Any ideas????

And chewing........yes I know puppies do it, but any tips on how to stop it before hubby has a heart attack? Ha Ha P.S. he has a TON of toys!!!
