Little Dog in a Big World

Misha was so tiny when I got her.  From her first visit to the Vet in July to her last shot in September she only gained 3 lbs.  It seems she was destined to live up to the name the breeder gave her, “Peanut”.

Something happened around 5 1/2 months old.  She stretched out.  I don’t think she is much taller, but she is definitely longer, which makes up for things.  By 6 months, she became muscular and you didn’t see her puppy feet pajama paws anymore.  Luckily, I bought the longer travel crate.  Otherwise, she’d be all scrunched up with her head in the door.

She has still gained only 2 lbs since September.  She now weighs 7.2 lbs.  I seriously doubt she will ever make 10 lbs unless she has an amazing growth spurt or I over feed her.  I’m counting on my ability to not to the latter and I seriously doubt the former.
