Nice! And thanks for reporting all official weigh-ins to the Teapot Club. We have standards, you know!

I've often wondered how exercise affects weight in dogs. Jillie, at 5 1/2 pounds, weighs more than her Mom or her dad, and I'm relatively certain she gets a lot more exercise than they did. I don't know about Eddie's parents, but he's been no lighter than 9 1/2 pounds since he was a year old. He's just under 10 now.
