Skippy got alot of compliments yesterday about how fit he looks. He does look really good. Shiny fur. And with the short cut, he looks quite muscular. So, I got brave and decided to weigh him. (We've been trying to put an extra 5-8 pounds on him, since his vet said he was too thin. He was 48 and we're aiming for about 55 pounds.) So, I weighed him ... AND, he has gained 2 pounds! Up to 50 pounds! He's on a strict no wheat, very low fat, high protein diet (a combination of EVO dry food and home-made chicken and rice) that seems to really agree with him, finally. He eats alot (about 3% of his weight (by weight) I calculate, which is up there with what very active dogs should eat). Also is a night eater - so I leave the dry food out and he'll go down and eat some more during the night. (Spoiled, huh!)
