Our standard poodle puppy, Bix, was eight weeks old when we brought him home from the breeder. My camera is chock full of photos of adorableness. Back in January, I posted a cute pair of photos of Bix on the couch looking out the window.
Bix enjoys looking out the window from the couch and does it frequently. The other day I snapped a photo to send to my husband, who wasn’t home.
Looking back at that January blog post I was amazed at how much Bix has grown in just three months. So I thought I’d put the two pictures together here (the app Pic Stitch makes it easy).
The lefthand picture was taken January 3. The righthand one was taken April 2. It’s amazing how much a puppy can grow in three months!
Bix weighed about 15 pounds at the beginning of January and is 45 pounds now. He’s ten pounds heavier than his predecessor, Kirby, was at Bix’s age. Kirby grew up to be 70 pounds. So we may have a giant on our hands here!
Sometimes it’s hard to remember that such a big boy is really a puppy. Well, Bix reminds us daily, of course, but I think we place some unfair expectations on him at times. He’s really a very good boy.
