I do weigh my boys once a week on a baby scale to back up what I see and feel in their bodies.
Thanks.. good advice. Yes Remy is 14 months. I do have a food scale
that I weigh her on. It goes up to 10 lbs. I did not think of the muscle development. That is what I wanted to know, I did not want to get so focused on weight per say, I want a healthy Remy.

She is really a love. He hair has changed and she is silky and bight eyed and full of affection and play... like her brothers

Bailey is very solid.. so maybe he is not as overweight as I think, the vet said he could loose but he was vague. (last check up)
