Here is something interesting I noticed. When he was at the Vet a few weeks ago, his ears were straight up. Now they flop at the top. Should I be concerned?

Oh my goodness, he is so plump and fuzzy!!! I think his ears will be fine. Blushy's boy, Titan's, ears were exactly the same. They stand beautifully now. Many pups' ears are down almost completely and then stand as they get a little older (by 6 mo.?). Have fun and take lot of pics.

Awwww, look at that sweet puppy belly! I love his markings.

He's *adorable*!

His ears should come back up. I've seen other people mention that their dogs did that for a little while when they were young. He is so cute!

Thank you! Quite the hand full right now but worth it.

Hmmm; let me guess - biting, chewing, pooping, peeing.

He will be a perfect canine citizen soon enough and then you will forget what a handful he was.

Question. How much should i be feeding him? Right now he gets 1/4 cup in the am, and 1/4 cup in the pm.

I would first follow the weight/food recommendation on the bag and take it from there. I'm thinking he may be getting another small food source from treats or little snacks that you give him throughout the day (?). We go by Bambi's look and weigh her every week and keep a log. You can adjust his food if he is looking a little thin. Frenchies look plump and solid but not fat. They have a slight waist but not too pronounced. He is so cute!

another thing to watch is his poop it will be loose or watery if too much should be firm but not to packed and he should be going about 3x daily
The right food makes a huge difference and less vet bills as a pup we used Fromm puppy food until 8 months could of gone longer then switched to Fromm adult many choices and easy to switch between flavours.
Best of luck and hey you are doing a good job by him you are great for each other :yes:
