Not gonna fade then? Yes, it is different. We are a negative of everyone else. The dark stripe goes fom his nose over his head and down the back and into the tail culminating in the big black comma. Oddly marke giant bugger!

Bat dog. I like that.

I have to agree, that strip is staying there. It may get lighter, darker or thinner, but with how thick it is, it's not going to disappear. You'll know how the ears are going to look after his big boy teeth are in though. So, usually 6-8 months old.
 
Just call us bat sheltie -- we got the mask and if the ears go up we will have the ears!

Nothing really matters but religious potty training and outgoing-ness with people and other dogs.
 
Holy bleep bat sheltie . . .

I have measured once a week, on Thurs. because he was born on a Thurs. Dear God. He is now 11.5 weeks, 9.8 pounds, and 13 inches!

We always end up with ginormous animals -- I have an exceptionally tall llama. We have had two 4 VERY large cats out of our many. Quay was a 69 pound Aussie, Holly 65, and Mayson 95 -- none of them were fat! Mayson was astonishing in size. Shay has freakishly long legs (thanks early neutering by the shelter!). And now Cubby is HUGE. There must be miracle grow in our well or something!
 
I measure by the wall / pencil / then measure method. However, just for kicks I thought I would compare vaguely to a ruler for visual scale. Yup. Larger than a ruler, 11.5 weeks. Sigh.

How do you get the weight?
 
I am not exactly sure what that means. My scale wasn't cheap, but it is about 8 years old. Maybe it's time to invest in a new one...

I think hubby & I can try that ruler thing, just to get a general idea
 
My scale is digital and it has 4 contacts you stand on toes/heels. If you put a dog to sit they go right onto the contacts and it is quite accurate. With your little one, you could use a digital kitchen scale (they usually weigh up to 10 pounds).

The ruler is just to point out his shoulders are higher than the ruler, kinda a general idea.
 
Thanks - I do have a digital kitchen one - will have to see if I can modify (and tare) the base to make it work.

Heading to bed now - 10:50 outing was a successful pee! :)

His weight for that height is really really light. Even my little 13" girl Ember is 13-14lbs and she is super light boned.
