I actually don't think she is roly poly at all she actually looks like a healthy puppy... she has narrow hips, and she is starting to get that big peke chest... she also has delicate features on her face... very feminine... she's definately not skinny.. but, I can feel her ribs.. and she does have a very distinct narrowing at the hips... I have pictures but I don't know how to post them... she's really adoreable... but, is just big! I have read where sometimes puppies get a growth spurt, and then really slow down... she literally doubled her weight in 3 weeks... so, I'm wondering if she will slow down now? Since my adult peke is soo big, I was hoping for a tiny peke... but, it looks like she might get even bigger than my adult.. (Foo Foo is around 15-16 pounds, and is very lean! )

Also, I do feed her twice a day about 1/2 a cup of puppy food, and it's gone in seconds... she is always hungry... do you think I should cut back?

As for her fur.. she is definately losking that soft puppy fur, and getting the short coarse coat... she is getting some very long fur on her back.. long guide hairs that are about 2-3 inches long.. but most of her coat is under an inch... her tail is also growing quite a bit... and she is starting to get the feathering on her feet.... so, hopefully her coat will come in pretty like my Foo Foo's.
