BUT, that said, you really should speak with your vet about what her ideal weight should be and how you can get her weight down if it needs to be.
They will beg for more as long as they have a person willing to give them what they want! LOL Sounds like she may have you trained well. |
Perhaps I’m misreading the subject line, but my impression is that her dog weighs between 7.5 and 7.8 pounds when she
believes she should weigh between 5 and 5.5 pounds. That’s why I suggested that her vet tell her a healthy weight for the dog. There’s a big difference between a vet telling her that a 7.8 pound dog should only weigh 5 pounds and her
believing her 7.8 pound dog should only weigh 5 pounds (possibly because that’s what the breeder told her to expect). I hope that makes sense ... sometimes my thoughts get muddled on their way to my fingertips.
