I'm glad to hear he's doing so well! I'm always amazed at the growth rate at this age too...

Final puppy check for Riley! Last shots given today, and got the estimate for a spay. Still not sure exactly when we'll do it.
Recap:
6 weeks, 9#7oz
9 weeks, 15#6oz
12 wks, 24#
15 wks, 32#
18 wks, 41#
We saw a different vet today from the other visits (not new to me but new for Riley).. she was very pleased with Riley's condition and weight/proportion.. a good visit overall, except Riley says she could have done without all the poking and nose drops, lol.

Swift- yes, I noticed! Her growth has been a very steady pace, which I've really liked. No huge spurts or slow periods either. Steady as she goes...
Brees- thanks! I'm excited to be done. In fact, we made a celebratory first trip to PetSmart afterward. You would have thought she'd been there a hundred times.. picked herself out a nice pork femur and off we went. Best investment I've made yet! She sat in a sunny spot for over ten minutes without a peep or a move, just gnawing away until I took it back and booted her out for some outside time, lol. Just have to watch those knuckle pieces as they come off, lol. Luckily, THOSE are the perfect size for Pepper, who happily accepts them.

I've often thought that it would be cool to go through all these posts and make up a sort of database that you could find averages from for girls and boys and for specific ages. I stink at computer data bases though and haven't really gotten up enough ambition to do it on paper... Anybody want to volunteer to consolidate all this data into a more easily accessible form? I think it would really help people who have young pups to be able to compare their pup's growth to what we've experienced here.
That is a great idea Ingrid! I work with database all the time, so time permitting, I could try to peck away at it so we have it for reference, unless someone else wants to take it on.
Edit: I have a spread sheet put together now.
I think I'll wait to let a few more post now that we have a new run of puppies, so we can get more accurate averages.

Cooper had his last Parvo shot yesterday, so he is all thru with his puppy shots..yaay!
His weight recap:
9 weeks....16.4
12 weeks...23.7
15 weeks...30.0
Slow and steady, right around 7 pounds every 3 weeks. Little sweet Riley has passed him up...lol, but I have a feeling in the long run, he will catch up
Other than that he is doing good and I am excited to start bringing him out more with me. He doesnt like car rides, so we are working on that. He's getting better.

lol.. thank you. I tried to post a new pic of him, but I am having problems. As soon as I sort it, I will try to get a new pic of him up here somewhere.

That's so cool Jan! I can't wait to see it!

Oof, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to hoist the little sweetie up to weigh her this time, but luckily she doesn't squirm, so it made it doable.
LOL , thats the reason why i have to wait, til we go the the vet again, there is no way, that i can pick up Apollo

Yay for Cooper! Yes, he will DEFINITELY catch (and surpass!) Riley in no time. Can't wait to see a new pic. I can't even get an avatar to work on my settings and the ones I try are WAY smaller than yall's'- 
Boehmeca- wow! Big boy. The seven-month-old male we had once was between 50-60 pounds, and he was no squirt.

M2M i still have not figured out how to put up an avatar either. It's crazy, when we're at home Kobe doesn't really seem that big. He seems like a normal medium sized dog. He is definitely solid though. Maybe it's because he's german. I know the body is a little thicker over here. We'll see where he ends up.

Aer has all of her puppy shots including her kennel cough and the second round of her Parvo shots. She weighs (last time we were at the vet) 15.4 lbs. I'm going to take her puppy classes next Tuesday, I can't wait. I've already missed one class by the time we scheduled the classes but the lady doing it is going to do one-on-one with me and Aer. I've never been to a puppy class before, is there anything that I should bring with me before I go to it?
