Default Getting like a chunky monkey since spaying

Rhianna got spayed in April at 7lbs. She is now over 8lbs . . . I'm pretty sure she's filling up her empty uterus space with food . . .

I've always been a believer in free feeding, but she is getting to the chunk level and there is no way that can go on. So I have started to pick up the bowls after dinner and I swear she's pouting on that. Her problem is that she likes to finish the bowl before bed. Don't know why she feels the need to gobble up whatever is left, but it's a bad habit she's always had. Last night, I was getting ready for bed, and I hear this scratching sound . . .well, apparently, there was a piece of food that must of gotten under the baseboard heater and she was trying with all of her might to get it . . .like she was starving . . .

I feed Wellness Super 5 mix for small breeds and I do throw a bit of cut up chicken breast or turkey on that, but in the morning. I just feel bad for Brody because he's my picky one and likes to nibble . . .but I can't leave the food down for fear of Rhianna becoming obese . . .
