I have always heard that you are supposed to double the weight at 12 wks but I am not sure. Did the vet tell you how he made his assumption? While we are talking about weight, I have a very dumb question and I know that I am going to sound like an idiot, but I just got on the scale with Tucker and it read 139, when I got on it by myself, it read 137.2. That leaves a difference of 1.8. Does that mean that he is 1lb 8 oz or that he is almost 2 pounds. I am confused with the whole 16oz in a pound. If he is 1lb 8 oz, then he is technically a pound and a half..Any help, I know you all must think I am super stupid.....
