| i think i have a closet eater and that just might be lexi...... it seems to me that shes gaining weight somehow, i feel as if shes around 12 pounds or so in a matter of a few weeks. i guess i have to weigh her.. i pick her up, shes like a ton of bricks and so solid... real solid.. i cant hold her anymore.... she just kills my back... now i feel bad cause the little bugger is hungry all the time... she wont eat her dry food again.. im so bad, its all my fault too and my /b/f/s.. ok now what to do, what to do??

| If you are feeding her human food that is probabbly why she is gaining all that weight. I would ask your vet about her weight. He may put her on a diet food

| If you feed her a lot of dog treats, you could cut down on some of that. They seem to have a lot of calories. I've noticed that Baxter loses weight when I give him less treats.
