 Welcome to week 18 of the life of two Australian shepherds on njroute22.com So we're back with another update this week, week 18. The dogs are still pestering the others although it seems like everybody's getting along a little bit better now. Another issue we have is with drinking water. We're not really sure if the dogs are drinking too much water because they're competitive or because they're really thirsty but we run into a problem with peeing inside because they seem to just drink completely non-stop. So we sort of have to control how much they drink. We can't give them an unlimited bowl of water just yet. But we're working it out. We're working it out. The accidents have become less frequent. Thank God. And for this week's weight update we have Sunny who clocked in at 14 pounds, 10 ounces. Last time is now 20 pounds. Hooray! And here we have Ocho who we give him these bowls that try to control his eating. He eats so fast. He's no match for that thing. But anyway he was 19 pounds, 6 ounces at 14 weeks. And now he's a whopping 25 pounds. So that means both dogs gained a little over 5 pounds in four weeks. So we'll be back on week 22, four weeks from now with another weight update. I suspect their weight gain will slow down a little bit. But as always we have them in a pen here in the kitchen. I can't wait till that goes away. But we love them nonetheless. Can't wait till they grow up and mature a little bit. They're getting better in the yard as well. So see you next week on the life of two Australian shepherds on njroot22.com.
