Thank you Gennies, glad to find a comrade!
speaking of people...nutrition and food quality has so much to do with how people grow...I live near some of the most poverty you've ever seen. In the news this past week a baby died of malnutrition. It's heart breaking. But I'm looking at this from my back's point of view as well. I want him healthy but the smallest healthy weight he can be, which will be best for my back. If that's 6 pounds, it will be a challenge for me but not impossible. That is the highest I think he'd get but like the vet recommended, don't feed him a lot. I refuse to starve him, that's sick! But if he'd also be just as healthy at 4 pounds, than heck ya, I want to feed him in that direction. Right now, I'm feeding him according the Royal Canine chart for his weight category.
