My parents yorkie was overweight at 7lbs and is now at a healthy weight of 6lbs. There is a huge difference in his appearance just by that 1lb difference. And if Maggie was already a little "chunky" then 2 ounces more just adds to the extra weight
ohhhh I hope I didn't sound rude, but I thought that was odd, to read that a yorkie was overweight at 6.2lbs, but I guess what you say makes sense I am only 128lbs and for my 5.1 body frame I am overweight too althought some women say they wish they weighed 128lbs
