Took Abigail in today for checkup, and my 6lber has gained almost a whole pound since spaying! She weighed in at 6.7 - which is only notable, because I kept thinking: "ghee...is she getting heavier, or am I just that weak?" Now, to stay in topic - I do NOT care how big she gets, as long as she's healthy, and the weight is appropriate for her frame. In HER case, I think (as does the vet), I need to either exercise her more, or watch her intake. I will say, as I've said before, that I prefer a 5-6lber because of MY physical weaknesses: back and knees, and I want a lap dog that I can just scoop up. She sure is cuddly with her rolly polly self, though! In judging weight, one should be able to feel their rib cage, easily, right? Well, we can feel it - it's just - padded.
