Copper’s 10 Week Check-Up

We took Copper to the vet for the first time on Friday. He had gone once at about 6 weeks with the rest of his litter, but this was our first visit with him.
He did very well. He didn’t even cry or whine when he got his shots! (That's also what the breeders told us - that he was the only puppy that didn't whine or cry when he got his first set. What a brave puppy!) The vet had a lot of little treats that he kept giving him, so I’m sure that helped. But still!

When we got Copper at 6 weeks & 1 day, he was 4 pounds (the biggest of the litter at that point). At Friday’s visit, he was weighed at 8.3 pounds! He has DOUBLED in size since we got him! That is so hard to believe. The vet said that was normal for this age.

The vet said he is very healthy and looks great. He was charmed by his little personality (he kept saying, “He’s very active, isn’t he?”) and told us several times what a good-looking dog he is. That was fun to hear the vet say all of those things.

    hey, that was our vet too (even my pets when i was growing up)!
    you sound like a proud mama. :) and copper is MUCH bigger/grown up than when we first met him. it's weird to think but then you go back and look at all those photos. they grow so much so fast!
