I was watching the "fill out" post and now I'm curious...what category would you say your dog belongs in?

Sheldon is still young, at less than five months, but he is so skinny :/

He eats great, mostly dry kibble with either a quality wet mix in or beef baby food (no dinners, just the plain beef) mix in once or twice a week. I don't give a mix in much because I don't want him to become too picky. He's eating at the very least a half a cup of kibble a day (Royal canin x-small puppy, which I know some like and some don't, but he seems to do well on it...eats it well. Healthy bowel movements, etc.) sometimes more, but he is still so thin. I know it's not parasites or anything. I would love for him to put on a little weight, but don't want unhealthy weight. He is energetic, happy, and such so I am not worried, just wish he didn't seem so boney...lol.

Where does your baby fall on this scale, in your opinion, and how old are they? Are you happy with their weight or do you feel like they should weigh more/less?
