i totally agree. i just feel for me, it's easier if i don't give howie any human food at all. first, i don't cook home cooked meals every day, second, it's a lot cheaper to just buy his dry food and i know he's getting what he needs, and three, worrying if i gave him the wrong thing. a LOT of the things i hear people feeding their babies sounds really good and perfectly healthy, but i'm a bum bum and can't even cook for myself every day!!
no no, i understand. i don't think you're suggesting i won't feed him because i want to keep him small, but you are right when you say i'm worried he's eating just to eat. but, they don't do that right? (sorry if i sound very naive about this all, he's my first puppy).
he just seems to be growing so quickly; but i say the same thing about my niece, so i'm sure it's totally normal. and yes, according to the chart, i believe he'll be around 6 lbs, which isn't big at all. just worried about him i guess. if he's in between his parents size, he will be about 5-6 lbs.
thanks for all the replies, i really appreciate it.
i LOVE yorkietalk!!! i'm glad i found it. hehehe.

What is your idea of small? If I'm reading it right, he was almost three pounds at three months? I would guess he will be around six pounds. Just a guess though, they often surprise us.
If he is going to be six pounds he is going to be six pounds. You don't want to hold back food if he needs it. I'm not suggesting you would. I'm just saying you might think he is eating to eat instead of eating because he requires it.  |
