Odin visits the Vet

We went for our second boosters and a checkup today. He did very well. Loved the Vet and gave her lots of kisses. He didn't even flinch at the needle as I was distracting him with treats. The vet was very happy with him and said he was very healthy and had a great temperment and all that good stuff. He will be 10 weeks on Thursday and he is weighing in at 8.2 pounds already. I have a feeling he's going to be a big boy. What do you guys think?

Since Bonnie is 18 weeks old and only 7.7 pounds I have no trouble believing that you've got a big boy :lol:

Bonnie is a tiny one. I think Lacey is going to be a little one as well. At 15 weeks she is a little over 7 pounds. I'll get a weight on her from the get on Friday when she gets her last puppy shot.
 
Definitely sounds like Odin could be a big boy! I got Enzo when he was 14 weeks old, and at that point he was 12.2 lbs. Now at 6 months old he's 16" and honestly, not sure how much he weighs. Somewhere between 20-30 lbs. Think they'd let me weigh him if I dropped in at the vet's office?

Most vet places will let you. All three vets I've gone to have.

He could be on the bigger side. Ruutu was 10 pounds at 8 weeks :o . Here's a good reference chart for you: http://bowlingsite.mcf.com/size/size.html

This is the chart I've been using as well.

Odin certainly does sound like a big guy!

My little guy was only 3 pounds at 8 weeks but he's now 12 pounds at 18 weeks, so he's grown considerably. He's been sick with tummy bugs and on antibiotics so I admit I also overfed him there for a while because I was worried he'd fall off to nothing if he got worse. :o
 
Im sure they'd let you weigh him. You can also do the unscientific way of weighing yourself then picking up the dog and weighing yourself again.
 
Jeff, that's how I do it between vet visits. My weight, with and without puppy. As added bonus to this method... I'm a little more inclined to leave the Frito's alone!

My big boy was 13 lbs and 13" - last time I ate frito's.. I mean weighed in. :winkgrin:
