| That's not a porker, unless her frame is tiny! The standard is seven pounds and under. Can you feel her ribs? When you look at her from above, she should have a defined "waist". If you really do think she's overweight, the vet can help you determine that, and if so, put her on a diet regimen that will trim her down. Plus extra walkies

| My porker comment was completely tongue in cheek She is either underweight or overweight....she's perfect I was just teasing about how grown up she is. |

| It's so neat how quickly they grow! It seems that every day they're a little longer, taller, wider! Your baby probably has topped off at 7 - but ya never know!! It's also funny that we all view a dog over 7 lbs as somehow being big. In the scheme of things, it's still very tiny. I weigh Lucy every week to see the ounces adding up. She'll probably hit 7 too. Enjoy you baby! Tracey |

I know what you mean! I have three other dogs, 90lbs, 70lbs, and 35lbs. Yes, Tink is the porker! LOLOLOL She'll turn 1 year on August 12 so I think she has pretty much topped out at 7.0. It's a good weight, I think...not too tiny but still small | |
