if we paint him red

the puppy was bigger than I expected. Maybe twice as big. My husband said “are you sure he is not two years old?” The sellers said he would be five months old in a couple of weeks. I was unsure myself, until the vet saw him. I don’t want to fix him until he is a little older, he told me. Bring him in in about two months. This told me he is not two years old. But he is much bigger than I thought he would be. Forty-five pounds at less than five months. A giant puppy. If we paint him red we can rename him Clifford.
