Stopped by the vet on our walk today

Our vet will let us stop in at any time and use their scale.

Knuckles is 20 weeks old and weighs in at.... 64lbs.

He got all sorts of attention from a vet tech that hasn't seen him in awhile

He's adorable!! Love those ears

Wow, he's huge. What are you feeding him?
Those ears weigh a pound each I bet!

Handsome boy! Is he supposed to be a purebred? I ask because he reminds me so much of a GSD/Lab mix I used to have.

Such a handsome big boy. His coloring is so much like my boy, Aiden's! Maybe that's why I think he's just so darn cute.

Maybe thats why they don't stand up

He's tiny compared to his littermate, though. (and they think Knuckles is too skinny because he has a waist! LOL)

Yes, he's purebred. Unfortunately he's from a BYB though. But he's mine and thats all that matters.

when my dog was a pup we use to visit the
Vet 2 to 3 times a week for treats, pets
and mock exams. the Vet or a tech would come out
and pet the pup, look in mouth, lift his tail,
rub him with the stethoscope, make a big deal over him etc.
then i would take him in the back and ride him up and down
on the exam table. now when i say "lets go to the Vet" my dog
will grab his leash and sit in front of the door all excited.
our Vet asked us to bring the pup in often for socializing.
the pic of Knuckles is really nice. it looks like a post card.

His coloring is what sucked me in. The other pups were black & tan and then there was Knuckles... I lost it right there. I never should have gone to see the puppies. LOL (I went with my sister in law to help her pick HER puppy.)

Yep, thats part of the reason we do it. He wasn't too fond of the vet at first, so it gives us a good excuse to make it a positive experience.
We were on our way to the school for another day of watching the kids get out of school for more socialization/desensitizing, too

He needs it, big time.
