Bruno went to the vet this week for his wellness check, and he’s already 9 pounds. With a cold front moving in this weekend, I updated the puppy sweater pattern to a larger size. Since Valentine’s Day is this weekend, I made it in red!

Along with outgrowing his sweater, he has also outgrown the cardboard box he claimed as his bed the day we brought him home. I got a bigger cardboard box and some fleece I had in my fabric bin and made him a new bed. Now he never wants to leave it!
