Also, when you carry around a bag of food, you have to keep in mind the weight distribution. I work in a nursury school/preschool, and carry around 15-20 lb kids all day, so I don't even notice when I carry my 6 lb yorkie. However, I do always think that his food is heavier than him, when in fact he is slightly heavier than the bag of food!!! It is completely different.  I carry my dog ALL the time- sometimes too much, I think. He really isn't heavy at all. Also, you'll still be able to buy bags for him that he'll fit in, and it will make carrying him a little easier on your arms.By the way, Innova is a great food. I wanted to feed it to my dog, but I couldn't find it anywhere around here, so I had to go with a similar food of a different brand. Good choice!
I'm so glad you are keeping him! These guys really nestle into your heart, don't they?

Thank you
He definitely knows how to make people love him.
You must be right about the weight distribution thing because I have an easier time carrying my friend's cat than I had with the food and according to my friend, the cat is 12 lbs!
My boyfriend and I went to this store yesterday called Bark & Fitz. They had the cutest little outfits, harnesses and carriers. So many cool toys too. I'm so excited to get him some pretty stuff!!! LOL.
He really likes Innova. More than he liked the Eukanuba I think. So I'm happy about that. He's eating more now.
