At four weeks of age Punch and his littermates were rescued by Boxer Rescue of L.A. (BRLA) from a shelter in Southern California.  They spent the next four weeks in a BRLA foster home where one of Punch's sisters still resides.  She is a special-needs little girl and the foster home has heart.  To see some of these early litter photos, visit Jabber Gets A New Little Step-Brother.  Punch's story continues here once he was old enough to be rehomed from his litter.

I count back from the day Punch was rescued by BRLA, the four weeks he was said to be.  I henceforth deem December 14, 2004 to be his his birthday forevermore.

2005 - 2006:  Calibrations
I kept pretty accurate documentation of Punch's growth because it didn't take us long to realize he was gonna be a big'on.

Or for even more Punch

Based on Punch's size at 7 months, my friend Leslie from BRLA projected Punch's 12 month size.  Wiseguy.

And another calibration.  This one is Punch in his Li'l Slugger outfit at 2 months, then again at 8 months.  Me thinks I should have taken one when he grew into the outfit, and before he outgrew it.
