You should be able to drop in at the vet to weigh your baby. My vets all were just as excited as I was to see how big each were getting. |
so hot rod did go through a growth spurt after 6 1/2 mos. do you think it was the surgery that did it? or just that both hot rod and milu are late bloomers?
milu got her spay surgery a day after her friend mimi, and they both gained weight somewhat rapidly after the surgery, so i was wondering if it the weight gain is due to the surgery?
i am excited and sad at the same time, i am happy that milu is growing, so now she can maybe be less scared when playing with other dogs, but sad to see my little baby grow up at the same time. but i do think that as she is growing BIGGER, her has more confidence as well. (not sure if it's the fact that she is bigger, or just that she is a little older now)
