Jasper's growing up!

I took Jasper for his second round of shots today and he weighs 8.5 lbs at 9 weeks! The vet said he is a little overweight but I read somewhere about a pound per week for a certain amount of time? I don't think I've been overfeeding him, keeping treats to a minimum and following the guidelines on the dog food for his weight. I think I'm just going to try harder to get him a bit more exercise since it has been rainy here lately. He was bigger than his brothers and sisters, but his mom and dad looked to be about average size corgis, so there's no telling whether or not he's gonna be a beefy boy or not...maybe he's just hitting his growth spurts early. I feel like he's growing up so fast...and his ears are starting to perk up too! So cute!

I have a tricolor too. When I picked out Winston among his siblings, he was clearly bigger than the other two. He gained about a pound a week up until 10 months old and then he slowed down a bit. Now, at about 14 months old, he is already 31 pounds and the vet said he is simply bigger than the standard corgi. so no worries, corgis are very active and love to play. Jasper is a cutie. Corgis are among the cutest puppies ever!
