| Just wondering? When I brought Jaxson home he was 1.9lbs at 8 1/2 weeks. When I took him to the vet last Saturday he was 15 weeks and 5 days and weighed 2.7 lbs. He doesn't eat like I would LIKE him to ( I feed him Wellnes wet and dry mixed) and we take walks around my community twice ALMOST everyday (when he doesn't get a hair up his little butt and lays down and refuse to move!). I do this because Cesar Milan said they need exercise even though he can run around the house like might mouse. My question is how big do you think he will get? His dad is 3 1/2lbs and his mom is about 5lbs. They were both owned by the breeder and at home. He was 1 of 4. His brother was smaller then he was! His sisters where about his weight. I went to visit every week until I brought him home. At this point he has learned to climb the stairs and come down. He looks like a furry slinky! He still can't fit any of the clothes I bought for him from Target so if he doesn't get bigger I will be selling them to someone here. He got the SpongBob and Mickey mouse sweaters from Walgreen for Christmas and they fit but he could use more weight to fill them out. He has gotten lean to me but VERY healthy. The vet said he was a GREAT looking little dog, health and appearance wise. |

| BTW- I just want an idea of if this is normal weight gain and body changes because I don't care how big he gets, he is my little punkin' and I'll pop anyone who messes with him! |

| Is it normal for him not to have his little fat puppy tummy anymore though? I thought he would still be rolly polly at this stage. |

| My Jaxon has always been a skinny little thing - we actually call him the tube because of it!!! I expected him to be more of a chubby puppy but he never was.
