Growing fast

When we arrived in San Francisco we did not find a suitable bag for Phoenix, so we left it to when we were in The Netherlands, as we had some more time there to do some shopping. BIG MISTAKE! We couldn't find a suitable bag that was regulation size and shaped, as most bags had an open space for the dog to poke his head out.
So we found one in Bilthoven, but it was smaller than regulation. Uffe measured Phoenix for us: 30 cms tall and 30 cms long; a perfect square! :)
We barely fit in the bag, and actually taking the flight from San Francisco to Guadalajara, the girl at the counter was complaining that Phoenix could not stand up and move around. Bottom line I told her he had been flying for the last 3 days in that bag with no problem and she begrudginly let us go!
They grow so fast, today he reached the top of the cabinet...and when I measured him he was 48 cms long and 55 tall!
Is funny how puppies grow, they have spurts of growth in different parts of their body. Today as Phoenix was walking, I saw that his back legs were taller than the front, a funny looking puppy! I saw the same thing in Nazca, he also was "un-even" as he was growing! One thing though that probably doesn't grow so much: his feet. They are big (not as big as Nazca's, his were huge!) and I am pretty sure they will remain that size till he grows!
Phoenix is now a quite cute growing puppy!
