Whoops! Maybe I got his size wrong! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

When we weighed Ellington at the vet he was 6. I presumed this was pounds. However I just had a though.....perhaps it was 6KG....and really Ellington is 13.2 pounds.

I don't think he is a teapot...as I can lift him?

ha ha, a random thread, but just a thought I had!

If you post a pic we should be able to help you figure it out

Also, do you have anything to compare it to? 6 pounds is pretty small, while 13.2.....not so much

here are two - any input welcome!

It's hard to tell. Depends on how big the picnic basket is.

He is SO CUTE!!!!!

ETA.....do you have a scale at home? A big Sunday Roast??

Thank you! Gosh so he's a big yorkie? ha ha whoops!

Well big is a relative term. And it is still hard to judge by the pics. My pups are under 4 pounds with not much hair. Hair can be deceiving for me too.

I have a friend with a 14 pounder who to me looks larger than yours. But again, real life is different than pics lol

So funny! you need to take him to the post office to weigh him so we can figure this out

LondonRee · 05-05-2012, 03:06 AM

He does look much bigger than your little avators though.......its a mystery I will have to solve!

He still isn't very well, so he may well be getting weighed again soon!

sugarmamma · 05-05-2012, 03:09 AM

Tell Ellington that he needs to feel better soon

Sheldonsmom · 05-05-2012, 03:57 AM

Awww, Ellington is so cute, I hope he recovers quickly! He is a big boy

Hes a cutie. Mine is 16 pounds and I can lift her

southernbelle04 · 05-05-2012, 06:24 AM

Ellington is such a cutie! I love that name too!

Lilymo · 05-05-2012, 06:33 AM

Try lifting 3 bags of sugar that's 6.6 kilos. Sorry he is ill what's the problem ?

LondonRee · 05-05-2012, 07:30 AM

He has liquid poo, and he vomited once. So we're not sleeping, and we're tired, and he must be feeling a bit crap.
