Puppy Weights
Puppies are weighed twice a day in the beginning, hence "am" (morning) weight and "pm" (evening) weight. It's also possible to have weights off by an ounce or two due to the "wiggle" factor. Puppies don't see the point in lying still during weigh-in! Up to a 10% loss of weight in the first 48 hours is normal.
Weights in purple are in ounces. Weights in red are in pounds.

*I must have misread the scale the day before...I doubt that she gained 4 ounces one day and lost 2 the next.
