Fat Guy in a Little Coat

We went to the doctor today for Dutch's 2 month check-up. We got a little fatty on our hands! He weighed a whopping 10 lbs 12 oz, meaning that in the last month he's gained 3 lbs 4 oz! He grew from 21 3/4 inches to 23 inches and his head grew from 35 whatever (centimeters?) to 38.

Dr. Shaver said that he's growing great and that everything looks good. He got two shots and one oral vaccine today and he's understandably upset about this. I think he's mad at us, but he'll get over it. Dr. Shaver was as amazed as everybody else at how much Dutch eats--I breastfeed him about every two hours and in between each feeding he eats 2 to 3 ounces of formula!

Anyway, our little pup is growing big and he'll go to the doctor again in two months. Hopefully he'll keep growing big and strong!

Sounds like Chris's thoughts on "Big Paws, Big Dog" might be correct! Someone call Bronco Mendenhall, and tell him you've got a new lineman for the team. Go big Dutch!
