[Buster Brown]

I understand you want to keep your baby at a certain weight because of your health issues with your back. Many of us are expressing concern because of your puppy's potential health issues due to underfeeding during the important growing phase to achieve what you think is an ideal weight for your dog based on your needs. I feel people are concerned that if your puppy does end up weighing over your 4 pound mark you might reduce calories to achieve your goal thus putting your comfort over the dogs health. Or as we have seen before abandon your dog because it no longer fits you ideal weight. I have learned in life to listen to all points of view and then I am able to make an informed decision. You can learn as much from a fool as from a wise man. From one what not to do and from the other what you should. Consider me erring on the fool side. I gave Buster too many treats and we are now dealing with getting him to loose weight. Feed a regular healthy diet without too many treats. If your baby ends up weighing a little more and it hurts your back get a stroller so that you both can live a happy and healthy life.
