Penny - Can't imagine why you think your dog is overweight!!!!
She looks great to me - and actually slender. She is built just like my Yorkie, and I definitely wouldn't call him fat. And he has been a fast grower also. I have no clue what he will weight, but he's not going to be small. He is 6 1/2 pounds at 5 1/2 months.
His mother was a whopping 12 pounds and his father was 4 1/2 pounds. So - go figure! I suspect my pup will weigh 7 or 8 pounds. I'm very happy with his weight so far. He is still very small and also easy for me to carry, bath, etc. Plus, he's very active and quite a jumper, so I'm glad he has a couple extra pounds on him.
Again, I wouldn't worry about your pup's weight at all. My dogs eat Premium wet food once a day (not a lot). Dry Iams food is left out for them always. And, they get people food (leftovers, etc.) also. They are not overweight and are happy and healthy and I don't worry about their food. They get a wide variety of different foods.
