Wow, they've all gained weight! Of course they should when they're that
young, but still. :-)

I've weighed my boys (of various older ages) again today:

Chester (35 months) - 476 (-10)
Casey (35 months) - 477 (-10)
Dylan (26 months) - 579 (-6)
Pancho (10 months) - 693 (+11)
Lefty (10 months) - 563 (+24)

How do you measure their length? Is there some sort of trick to do that easy
yet precise?

I have a um..whats it..builders tape measure, one of the flexible
metal retractable ones anyway. Its easy enough to get a girl to stay
still for about half a second :P to get the measurement. Of course,
Tippy would move a fraction just as I was focusing on which inch it
was, so I had to start again. They aren't 100% exact measurements, but
they'll do to keep a log.

cheers,
M&m

Yeah, he sure does, as you can also tell by just looking at him. :-) He'd
lost a little weight a while ago because he'd been sick (he had an
inflammation of the middle ear), but he's gaining weight again now. In fact,
693 grams is a new record for Pancho. But it's not a new Oh, Rats! world
record, because about a year ago Dylan weighed 700 grams. (According to my
vet Chester has even weighed 710 grams, but I couldn't confirm that myself.)
