Eleven Weeks and Counting

So we had Bodie at the vet's this morning for his latest round of shots, and he weighs 24.3 pounds. At eleven weeks! He's growing like a weed - maybe a little too quickly, according to the vet. She has some concerns about his rapid growth - he's added 8 pounds in just three weeks. He isn't overweight, and he looks good for his size, but she's concerned about his joints. I guess he could potentially have some osteopathic issues if he grows too quickly. Soooo... we've ordered the Orijen large breed puppy formula as recommended by our vet, and hopefully we'll avoid any future joint problems. After all, maybe he's just going to be BIG. Look at the size of his feet in this photo! They look so innocent when they're sleeping, don't they? Nothing about this photo would indicate the fact that I've chased the front door rug down the hallway three times today...
