Zach is the same size as her exactly, he appears to be around 5 lbs right now which is what Lola was at in July. He has a totally different body structure though, he feels very sturdy and you don't feel his bones nearly as much as her. He is a well bred yorkie though so I think Lolas skinny-ness is from perhaps bad breeding.

The very high metabolism also keeps them from putting weight ...
I think it is a huge burden on the knees when they get overweight ...
Also boys, at least here in my family, tend to have heavier bones.

Happy new year everyone !!!
