I like dogs to be just slightly on the lean side but my Tibbe loves his kibble and he's not lean at all right now so we're lightening up on his meal and treat portions. He weighed in a 6.3 lbs. his last vet visit and that's about a pound too heavy to me, though the vet hasn't mentioned he's overweight. His treats are just softened, chilled kibble but he loves them like candy!!! Or loves the idea of them. He's always working to get treats for things he does right!

Bella looks like she could maybe be a bit too heavy for her weight-bearing joints in such a little dog. How tall is she at the withers?

How long is she from the base of the neck to the base of the tail?

Bella sure is a cute little girl, Kathy.
