I took Holly into Petsmart yesterday and got her weighed. She weighs a whoppin' 4.2 lbs at 6 1/2 months! I had previously thought she weighed 5 lbs, but I used my home scale for that weigh in so I'm guessing it's not very accurate? Or maybe it is? :confused: Speaking of accurate, does anyone know if the scales at Petsmart are all set the same? The last time I weighed Holly on one of their scales she weighed 4.1 lbs. That was back in December, but it was at a different Petsmart. Just wondering as I want to make sure she's growing correctly.

Speaking of Petsmart, I got a couple of new toys for Holly and a new doggie dish. We also got to see a lot of different doggies while we were there. There were even a couple of chis. :coolwink:

My daughter's chi, Bear is a year and 1 month he weighs 8lbs
My chi, Maia, is almost 6 moths and she weighs 7.8lbs

My vet weighed both of them. I can't wait until the weather warms up because then they can get outside more.....

Hope, 17 months-4.0 lbs.
Ruby, 16 months-4.0 lbs.
Eden, 13 months-3.6 lbs.

I like weighing them at the same place because scales can vary and with our breed we need to watch weights carefully. Especially those of us who feed based on the dog's weight. I do not want them losing weight.
Chis cannot swing a pound or two like a bigger dog could!

How cool! I never knew that! Not that it matters much. I don't have a wii. I have a PS3. :p

Same here, although I have to say it's not too bad where I'm at. :)

I was afraid you'd say that. Guess I better pick out a Petsmart so I can watch her weight better. There are so many around here, it's hard to keep track of them all! lol

Mine does so is that free?? I have no scale to keep up on Holly's weight.
It should be. Just be sure to ask first if you can use it. Last time I weighed Holly I didn't bother to ask. The receptionist looked at me like I was nuts! :rolleyes:

I agree with Karen on this. I use my kitchen scale and it corresponds well with the vets scale, so I'm good.

Alvin--14 months--5 lbs 13 oz
Clapton-- 15 months--5 lbs 11oz
Vanessa--1 year 8 months--7 lbs 3 oz
Ziggy--14 months--3 lbs 10 oz
