The first problem is that now they are a bit bigger, they aren\u2019t so keen to sit still on the scales. When they wriggle the recorded weight keeps changing. The only option is to lie them on the back to get a reading before they manage to right themselves. What is good is that Avril has broken her tendency to repeatedly head-butt the scales bowl when she is put into it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We started by putting them in a small basket when we were going to weigh them, but they soon outgrew that. Now we use the largest washing basket, but they are starting to climb out of that. It is going to become even more difficult as they get older.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5144\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5144\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/DSC00959.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5144\" title=\"DSC00959\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/DSC00959-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5144\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A basket of puppies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Anyway, as to today\u2019s weights I have good news and bad news. The good news is that Arnold has put on another 64g and is now 986g. Annette who was 4<sup>th<\/sup> in size at birth is now second and put on 70g, bringing her up to 926g. Adrienne\u2019s growth has slowed the last couple of days, She did still put on 50g taking her back past Amigo and to 922g. Amigo put on 32g taking him to 914g. That leaves just 3 under the 900g mark now. Alan put on 44g to make him 864g and Aristotle put on 60g and has now made it right up to 716g. The worrying one is Avril, who has actually lost weight since yesterday. When you are that small you can\u2019t afford to lose 6g. It means she and Aristotle are the same weight. We will give her extra time on her own with her Mum and weigh her again later this afternoon to see how she is doing. I\u2019ll let you know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>It\u2019s that time of day again.
