We're supposed to send CCI a Puppy Report every month. I try to do it on the 1st. It's no big deal, but the most challenging question is the one asking how much the puppy weighs.
Our vet has a nice scale that dogs can easily step up on, and if we pop in, the techs don't mind our using it. But that makes answering that single question a 20-minute chore. Who's got time?
Here's the alternative:
 |
| We bring down the bathroom scale. Steve gets on it and weighs in. Today's answer: 159 pounds. |
 |
| He scoops up Dionne. Weighs in again. Today's answer: 202 pounds. |
Ergo: Five days short of being six months old, Dionne weighs 43 pounds. That makes her on the small scale, compared to our previous puppies.
(Or maybe her habit of eating garbage and throwing up has something to do with her slender frame...)
