I need a little advice, Gucci is 15 weeks (come tuesday) he was about 4.1 lbs now he is 3.10 lbs, (he was a lil chunky but I think he is starting to get to be to his normal weight) he is pretty small and I am just concerened for his overall health. I have heard too many pneumonia and Kennel cough horror stories to just "ignore" that there is some real risk there. Right now it is around 48-60 degrees during the day when will his immune system be strong enough to take him out with me where I go so he isn't lonely at home? He has sweaters and jackets and clothes but I'd rather ask before doing something I MIGHT REGRET as it just seems too cold.

When do you start taking your puppies/dogs out and when is it "Too Cold" He is a dog so I could be way off base by thinking it's not safe, I can take my 100 lb pit bull and their puppies anywhere anytime, but Gucci is so small I worry.

Any help is appreciated!! Advice and Stories you have that may help

~ Thanks!!
