50/50

No, I'm not talking about a 50/50 raffle. I am referring to my little piggy gaining 50% of his body weight in three weeks. Twice. He went to the vet three weeks ago and went from 12 pounds up to 19. Then this past Saturday, he weighed in at 28.5 pounds. I almost fell off the chair when Dr Stratman told me that. I thought, MAYBE 25 pounds, but no way 28.5 pounds. No wonder I let out a small groan when I go to pick up Brock. He's a BIG boy!

This week, other than gaining weight, has been pretty quiet. Still working on the house-training and it's been going very well. He rings the bell, we go outside, he gets a treat. It's all good. This week I'm going to dig-up my old training take-homes and start working with Brock on basic training.

He's been doing pretty well with sit, since I make him sit before he gets food, which happens a lot. He also does pretty well with Come. He's funny to watch running at you, ears flapping and that funny Lab puppy gait. You can't help by smile. I'm hoping to get a head start on puppy kindergarten. If he's anything like Berdy, he'll lose his mind as soon as we walk in the door. I'll just try not to lose mine also.
