Sparky has grown up quite a bit in just a couple of weeks (into his 9th week now).
The teethes are developing, puppies have 28 temporary teeth, 14 in the upper jaw and 14 in the lower jaw. These deciduous teeth erupt at about three to four weeks of age. Dogs have 42 permanent teeth, 20 on the top, and 22 on the bottom. These begin to emerge at about four months of age. Dogs have 6 permanent teeth that have 3 roots each, and 14 teeth that each have 2 roots.
He likes to nibble, hands, legs, foots, he just nibbles and sometimes bites! It is rather painful if the bite is sudden. I am sure he doesn't mean it, I just need to be a little bit careful. Telling him "No!" when he does it doesn't seem to help.
I don't know how much he will grow within the next few weeks, I can feel that he is getting bigger everyday! Of course, a lot hairier too! He needs a good grooming.
By the way, this is how we can determine just how old dog gets. After the first year of life, a dog is equivalent to sixteen human years. After two years, they are equivalent to a 24 year old, at three years a 30 year old, and each year after, add 5 human years to determine a dog's age.
