"Weight - A healthy dog's weight is the result of the balance between diet and exercise. If he is getting enough nutritious food and exercise but still seems over- or underweight, he may have a health problem. Don't let your dog get fat by giving him too many between-meal snacks; obese dogs often develop serious health problems. The best way to tell if your dog is overweight is to feel his rib-cage area. You should be able to feel the ribs below the surface of the skin without much padding."

Thanks for that....see, before, I could feel his ribs, but now, I can't....I mean, even if I push down harder, I can't feel them.....
I think I wikll start our exercise plan tonight and work with him all summer.....if in a while I notice no change, I will go back to the vet....if nothing, I will get another opinion for some ideas.
