Coal gained 8.3 lbs in 3 weeks people!!! He is 14 weeks old and 21.5lbs. This is very shocking to me and when I heard what he weighed I asked the vet immediately if he was overweight! She said that by no means did he qualify as being overweight and that he just must have gone through a growth spurt! This is my first dog and I am amazed by how quickly he is growing. My husband comes home from work some days and actually says, "Coal grew while I was gone today". I thought he was joking but at the rate this guy is growing, I guess maybe it's true! :shock:
I just thought of something..... in a thread a while back, didn't someone say that you can take their weight at 4 months and double it and add 5-10lbs to determine their likely weight when full grown? Yikes, Coal won't be 4 months until 2/23 and by that time he will be at least 25 lbs.....double that 50......add 5-10lbs.......55-60lbs?!?!!! I was expecting 45lbs! Not that it matters in the least but do y'all think he will be like 60 lbs???
