We do the weigh in too... Before breakfast; without collars or harnesses; etc., but only once a month. It's not so much to see if they are teacups or teapots as to make sure our food offerings are appropriate. Little Maxie, who came to us as 4.6# at 15 months old is now 6.4# at 2 1/2 years old. The vet isn't buying my plea that the numbers are the same -- just reversed! Says Max shouldn't weigh more than 5 or 5.5 pounds. ...because of his knees; heart; and general stature. But he is a PIG! Goes nuts over mashed potatoes, toast with butter, scrambled eggs... He eats a little of his dog food, but then camps at my side or my shoulder to get whatever people food treat he can get. I am weak... He eventually gets what he wants, and I know that's not good for him. |
