I understand that's only an estimated number, but my question is this... My little guy hasn't really gained any weight in about three weeks. Would you say that's about it for him and that he's stopped growing or could there be a pause before another potential growth spurt?
I'm really hoping that he grows a little more... while having a very small dog is certainly cute, I'm 6'3" and am always scared to death that I'll inadvertantly step on him! He has that nasty little habit of being right under my feet at all times and rather than be scared of my feet, smacks my foot with his little paws to play *LOL* I love him to death and am really happy that he's healthy, I just want him to have a little more bulk. |
Yo dude. I think he'll get a little bigger. I felt the same as you when Kiwi was so small (that's her at 12 weeks next to a soup can and my friend in my avatar, 2.5-3.0pounds). Now, she'll be 7 months old in a few days. And she has grown a LOT this past month or so, so don't worry...She is around 5.5 pounds which is great, I hope she gets a little bigger but her that extra pound really does make a big difference. Feed him healthy food :}
