My dogs have always been pretty lean, and I think it's contributed to their longevity (two will be 14 this summer!). |
Thanks for this!!!
I bathed him today and thought about taking a picture from the top to post on here for opinions but then I thought I was just over reacting. Most of the problem, I think, is that I can't trust my own opinion!!!
