We went to the vet last Friday - Kairo is officially 21 pounds! G$ did the math, and that means he grew on average 1/3 a pound each day between 8 weeks and 12 weeks. Crazy. According to our dog food chart, Kairo is supposed to be eating 3-4 cups of food a day. Also crazy.
When Kairo is stretched out (which he does pretty frequently, both while sleeping and stretching), he's over three feet long:
But he also could have a future as a gymnast - he is so flexible he can curl his three feet long body into a ball that's less than a foot across:
Apparently, dogs (or maybe it's just Kairo) gets blue eye - like humans get red eye. It's a shame, because his eyes are a BEAUTIFUL shade of green. A few folks we've run into say he has "human eyes" - whatever that means...they aren't brown...?
Other than his weight update, not too much other news out of the vet. He got Round #3 of puppy vaccinations, one of which was the Kennel Cough spray, which was required for him to start doggie daycare (more on that in a future post). We go back in another 4 weeks, and he gets the last round of vaccinations, including the rabies shot.
And now for the photo-dump...
Kairo curious about the fountain in our courtyard:
Kairo even more curious. He wasn't quite ready to jump in, but close:
Kairo with his football. Or rather, a football I was planning to give to goodwill, but it somehow didn't make it into the bag. Most of the time he picks up the football using the laces, but he tried and tried and tried, and finally was able to get a good grip on the end. And even more impressive, I was able to capture a picture:
Kairo liking to sleeping in the most random positions - wedged between pillows:
Today was Kairo's first day at doggie daycare, so I'll be back on with a post on that later.
