[QUOTE="buddy, post: 485271, member: 12886"] Thanks Hound, we actually already have a personal pet dog. Q took on feeding him and watering him himself! Just does it. (actually he eats some of the dog food to this day, yuck). He loves his dog and anyone who has a dog. Likes to walk him etc. In any event, Q would never be the one left to be responsible for a therapy dog....too valuable and too much training involved. He always has 1:1 watching him anyway. I have no plans to do it now, just was investigating. I think it we see signs of the courage center dogs working well with him it might give us some insight if it is worth the extraordinary effort we would have to go through to get one. So I guess my question about the weight (now that it is morning...sigh) is, how do I know the difference between the normal shocking growth spurt (yeah, you and IC are right...it is shocking but kind of cool too) and if it is an unhealthy weight gain. I mean if he keeps gaining 2 lbs a week he will more than double his weight in a year. That can't be good. from a tiny kid to a kid who is over 200 lbs in a year, wouldn't that be really unhealthy? Do I just watch the height/weight ratio and bmi? or is the rate or both? Lisa, does Travis live with you? I forgot.... Your posts mean a lot to me, I know you understand so much of what I say....
