I was thinking that for a second.. but I named her Dolce after my brother.. I mentioned why in a previous thread but ill give u a quick lil little overview. He is going away to Afghanistan soon and I wanted to have something to remind me of him. He used to repeat this one sentence " its a dolce" with a funny accent and it annoyed the crap out of me but I ended up just enjoying it after so much annoyance haha! Also I like this Italian phrase "la dolce vita" which means "the sweet life" or "the good life". I guess it wasn't as quick of an overview as I thought.
How Are They Growing?

I actually got a little concerned recently when we brought Paco to visit his brother and sister and found that they were significantly bigger than him. We found out that they were just fat due to lack of exercise and being overfed, but I couldn't shake the feeling afterward that Paco could be bigger. He's 5 1/2 months, about 15" at the shoulder, and Chris weighed him at 16 lbs, but that was on the Wii Fit, so not sure how reliable that is.
Anywho, here he is!

great pictures all..I love this thread.

Based on my Riley's growth I don't think that's all that far off. We got him at 4 months old and at that first vet visit he was 16 lbs. And he's a big boy now at a fit 27 lbs. Paco may end up just about standard…

Thanks for the reassurance, Mauigirl :). People keep asking Chris and me if Paco will get any bigger, and we're always like, "well…we HOPE so...." :p

Paco, looks great!!! He doesnt look small to me…....

:)I posted pictures in my album for all to see! My little b girl is 5 months old and growing! She likes going to grandma's and seeing their 2 parrots! It is funny when the african grey says "woof woof"! I will try to get a video at some point! Have a great weekend everyone!

what do you think about his body? He is lighter than the other males on his age. Higher and smaller, if you understand.
-
L'Ox is like that too but I expected as much since his parents were both slow to fill out.
-
Johnny is also lighter and smaller boned than the rest of the puppies. He is still my pick puppy.

Wow! All these pretty B's are getting big, I just realized how big my Cairo is getting. Weighed him yesterday, over 22lbs compared to 17 when we got him at 4 months. He's 5 1/2 months now.
-
Wow that is really big… 22lbs at 5 1/2 months

I think he is gonna be a beast, over 16" at the shoulder. He's real lean, I exercise him regularly. His head is getting more broad, along with his body. I wish I had a good digital camera, he is soo pretty. I've nick-named him big red. Haha
-
Hard to believe that they grow up so fast…. From the beginning of April till today

oh..I am so wanting a puppy in my life..heck I want a B in my life.
They are looking great, growing so nicely.
