chunky monkeys! that's Ben & Jerry's not hagen-daaz, right? or no? Wink

Tam, I thought about you when I took this picture! I was hoping you'd post or check the forum soon! Can believe these guys?

Di, these are NOT the same pups as the one who was hungry! lol. Some moms are up for the La Leche League award, and some never joined the club! Wink

Our largest is about 3.5 lbs...and I thought that was huge!
They are really beauties though! (Still so jealous you have chocolates!)

Hey, congratulations to Hooked and Brutus! I think that is so wonderful when you get siblings...and Maureen is really a great person, so I know that you have selected well!

Maureen...after your post, I weighed my pups (I weigh them daily) and I have one that went from 3.11 to 4.4 lbs!! I thought that I must be wrong so I checked again...and it is right! These guys are really growing, eh?
I am so happy!

I took some new pictures, but you know me...can't post them here (very technically challenged) but my blog link (under my signature here) has a few on there. Very Happy

Gosh golly--I want puppies too!! Well in 5 years I can semi retire. We have property at Eagle Lake and we're looking to buy some adjacent property. Maybe with that much room I can breed doodles!!

Gus was 18.5lbs at 10 weeks and is now over 70lbs at 8 months. He was a chunk of a puppy - not much has changed! Both parents were around 70lbs and he was one of the larger pups in a litter of 8.

Then:

Now:

Maureen · Posted: Wed May 03, 2006 12:58 pm Post subject:

oh my gosh, GUS is adorable!!! I love that scruffy look... just like "our" Bandit! Bandit's not exactly a lightweight either!

Hey "hooked" it's only 2 wks til you choose your Baby Boy! I was just holding one of the chocolate boys yesterday wondering if he was "yours". Wink

We only have 3 puppies reserved from this litter.... yet it seems like early June would be a GREAT time to bring home a puppy! Any thoughts from any owners or breeders about that?
