My Bentley has put on weight. He hasn't been weighed lately but I can tell. He has had a recent checkup at the vet and was dewormed. So he is healthy. He seems quite sad at times lately too. In a recent post I said he has gotten irritable. We just moved back to CA as hubby was on deployment and he has been gone a lot on and off since. So it has been mainly me taking care of the house, our 2 babies, and our furkids. I think that I haven't been giving Bentley enough attention. Could this be the reason for the weight gain and depression and irritability? I've decided to take an hour walk starting tomorrow morning with the babies and just Bentley. I'm hoping this helps as he loved his walks and I haven't had much time for them the last few weeks. He is eating 1/4 cup of Wellness a day. Should I lessen it or see if the walks and extra attention help? I worry about his knees and certainly don't want any extra weight to cause problems later. I'm angry at myself for not managing my time better the last few weeks. My pets are like my babies and I never want them to feel the least bit sad. Hoping the long walk everyday helps. Any other advice is more than welcome.
