So feeding her until she is not hungry wont cause her to "grow" into a 8 lb dog in size.....she may get fat and would need calorie control, but she will always be a little 4 pounder (essentially)....am I making sense??......I HATE to see anything or anyone hungry! Feed this baby!!! |
Thank you, solid sense. We've been feeding her and she certainly seems better. Probably a more restful lifestyle is beneficial too it seems?
