| How old is Barley now? Is he a chub? My Emmy who is 3 months now, so must be about 13 weeks, is a chub. Her vet says good! A very healthy chubby puppy. Now I don't like the weight charts that much, unless for a guestimate kind of like you said, Marsha. I wonder how a chubby puppy can factor into that thing. I know a gal whose chi pup was charting in the 2 pound range. Well, this gal gets the puppy and puts her on a better puppy food and puppy plumps up a bit, hair coat improves, etc., and now puppy Is charting higher in weight. It sounds like Barley may end up bigger than thought but he has been such a God send for Ginger. You'll just have to wait and see I guess. I know it leaves you without a dern stud again, but the emergency was kind of Ginger. Now you can sit back and find just what you're looking for?

He went to the vet for a well puppy check and for his last set of puppy shots. When I got him three weeks ago, he was at 1 pound, 5 oz...thus charting between 3 1/2 to 4 pounds grown. NOW, he weighs 3 pound 5 oz (a 2 pound gain in 3 weeks!!) and is charting at 6 pounds!!!
