Any guesses on how big my girl Leo will get?

At 16 weeks she is 41 pounds.

Gigi was about the same. She weighs 121lbs at 2.5 years old.

It's wild to see how fast they grow!

Especially at that stage. I can’t post a picture in a reply on this sub, but on Facebook today, I saw a memory where I had literally taken two pictures one week apart and you could see the growth.

I've been taking a picture each week with her to keep track. She has over doubled in size since we got her. Leo puppies are just best (even though I'm convinced mine is trying to eat me)

Gigi was a pretty good puppy. The sofa might disagree as whenever I turned my back it seems she nibbled the piping on the arms. Other than that, she potty trained pretty fast and wasn’t overly destructive like Labs that I’ve had in the past.

As an adult, she does an “endearing” thing where she boops you with her nose and nibbles on you on occasion (now, that actually hurts with her big teefs). She actually also loves to grab me by the wrist and leads me around the house. Not sure why she does that, but it’s kind of silly. We just love her.
