Celebrating a Year with Padfoot the Puppy
Looking Back at Our Puppy Growth Chart Series
It’s been a wonderful year with Padfoot, Dr. McElravy’s black Labrador Retriever puppy. Starting in March, we followed his growth and development with regular check-ins. Since Footy celebrated his birthday on December 3, our series has come to an end. Let’s look back over the memories!
Padfoot’s First Check-In
In his first video, Footy was three months old. He was alternately a ball of energy or a cuddly sleeper. He was getting to know his older brothers at home and learning the ins-and-outs of roughhousing. He started the series at 29 pounds.

At his four-month update, we learn that Footy has started losing his puppy teeth and reached a weight of 43 pounds. He admired his older uncles and wanted to grow up to be just like them! In fact, he had achieved housetrained status and learned to “sit” and “come.” But he still loved squeaky and crinkly toys.

At half-a-year-old, Footy was reaching all his milestones and getting the puppy care he needed to continue a healthy life. He was 64 pounds. But he never got too big to cuddle his stuffy. Molli gave us a peek into the half-birthday party Hannah threw for him. One of his favorite snacks was carrots.
