| How do you weigh your babies? I just finished weighing my Beanzie baby to see if she's gained any weight. I like to weigh her on my food scale because it has ounces (goes up to 5 lbs). She looked so funny sitting in the little tray! I was just wondering how other yorkie owners weigh their dogs. BTW ~ she weighed in @ 3lbs. 2 oz.

| My wife has been weighing him on the regular people scale. She'll weigh herself first and then weigh herself holding Guinness. Since we have a digital scale, she'll usually weigh herself a few times without him and a few times with him to ensure the most accurate weight. After having him weighed in the Vet's office, it looks like its a good system as the weight matches up pretty much dead on... |

| I weighed Jewel on a digital food scale since she was so small and I get ounces on it. With Jazzie I use the hold em and weight us together method with Jazzie. Just like Unclepunk (love the user name BTW!) described.

| I weigh Beauty on a food scale as well. I am thinking about going digital though, but the regular food scale seems to work perfectly. The one that I purchased from Target goes up to 6 and 1/2 pounds. See pic!!! Tameika and Beauty |

| I too use a food scale. I find it is the best and most accurate way for me to weigh them. Here I was thinking I was the only one that weighs them on a food scale. Funny.

| I use a digital postal scale. I bought it off of ebay. It weighs in ozs, lbs and ozs, gram, and some others I don't use. It is very acurate. I weigh them now about once a month, but I always weigh them right before a Vet visit. My scale and the Vet's are right on target!

| I weigh everyone under 5 lbs. on my Pampered Chef kitchen scale. I am thinking I need to get a postal scale, though, 'cause Chizziewink is tipping the scales at around 7 lbs. |

| I use a digital human scale, but I have to do math afterwards to convert tenths of a pound to oz. It kinda sucks, but it keeps me using my math skills. |
