I just recently took Bear to the vet for his second round of shots and weighed him. When I first got him he was 2.6 pounds. Now three weeks later he is a full pound heavier. Is this normal? I can't schedule his feedings cause my boyfriend and I leave early for work and don't get home till eight hours later and I hate the idea of him not having food all day.... But I don't want him to gain too much weight too quickly. He's get's about a cup of Royal Canin Puppy 33 to last the day and he usually doesn't finish it. but man.... I am so surprised at how much he's gaining. Tigger's even gaining weight because he sneaks in tidbits of Bears food. He's gained four oz.

At ten and a half weeks he weighs 3.6 lbs.... any guesses on how big he'll be full grown?
