14 Weeks

This past Saturday, April 13, Maxwell was officially 14 weeks old.  Since he came home at 7 weeks, from that point forward Maxwell will have been with us longer than at his breeders.  Not terribly significant I'm sure, but maybe worth noting.

Also worth noting, Maxwell is 26.4lbs which is on the larger side of pups at this age.  This isn't surprising really, judging from the size of his paws.  We get comments on how large they are all the time.  And based on pictures of other pups his age, there is a noticeable difference.  My guess is he will be taking after his daddy who also sports the same large bone structure.

He is now eating 3 cups/day of Taste of the Wild Pacific Stream Puppy formula split into 3 meals.  I plan a post about feeding here soon.  As it turns out, what to feed your puppy is as hot a topic as whether or not to vaccinate your children.  People get all worked up, get angry, and argue like it's the most important issue facing humanity today.  He also gets a small bit of cheese and treats in his Kong at bedtime. He is sleeping well, about 8 1/2 hours most nights in his crate.

Anyway, here's some pictures taken Saturday to document his 14 weeks.
