Blackie Sue gets bigger

I've always heard that you can tell the size a puppy will get by looking at it's paws. Supposedly, it will grow into them. Blackie had pretty big paws when we got her 4 weeks ago, but not huge. They have, however, grown with her as she's gone from 12 to 20 lbs, and I'm starting to wonder when they're going to stop! One source says that you can double the weight of the puppy at 4 months and that should be the adult weight; if she keeps growing the way she has been, Blackie will be at least 30 lbs. in another month!

I'm not sure how SHE feels about being a big girl (look at that face; she's saying "I'm not large, I'm just big-boned!), but we will love her no matter how big or small she ends up being.
