 Puddin' the Pudge
Well, she'll be 13 weeks tomorrow and we just got back from being weighed at the vet...1.8 kg or 3.9 lbs. She doesn't seem fat and she's a very active dog, but 4 pounds at 13 weeks!! That seems so huge!
She has already outgrown those jammies I made her, so I cut them in half and added an insert (with a tuck that can be let out if she grows out of them again!) and just finished modifying some onesies to fit her better around the neck and shoulders. It is now autumn and winter is on its way...our area is not called the "Cape of Storms" for nothing. We don't get snow, of course, but it does get crispy cold here and without heat in our houses (yup...no radiators, baseboard panels, forced air or oil furnaces!) it gets pretty chilly at night, especially in all those ceramic tiled rooms. I have laid in a stock of flannel and fleece (thank you eBay!) and now have to get busy on a winter wardrobe for my pudgy princess.
The other dogs all have fleece jerseys from previous winters, but I may include them in my upcoming sewing marathon.
Does anyone else have a yorkie that weighed 4 lbs at 13 weeks? If the "rule of thumb" is correct, she's going to go over 10 lbs!! |
