I used to have dairy goats... that's what origionally got me into Pyrs. I don't have goats right now, but still adore those Pyrs.

If you have a chance.. Start taking pictures once a week, and watch him grow.. Try weighing him once a week.. It's amazing how fast the weight goes up.. I had to do it because Socks was the runt of the litter, and the rest were double the size of him.. He made it to 17 lbs (thanks to my dad), and I'm happy to say he's steady at 15 lbs of muscle..
Enjoy

I try to get a pic weekly, (My camera is on the fritz). I do know he gained 10 pounds last week. He is now 11 weeks old and weighs 40#.

That puppy is adorable, I had all toy size dogs except for a large dog we rescued from neglect.
There was no way I could have gotten another puppy when I lost Que`bie... actually, it took a long time before I could even talk about him, hear his name, or see a Pyr without bawling.

Peach doesn't bother her so the cat will have to fill the void. He does!
Yes, it hurts to loose them, but they enrich my life so much and help make me a better person.... it's worth it in my eyes.
