    Is Your Pet Overweight?

    No, but I am! I wish I could monitor my own intake as well as I can monitor that of my indoor calico cat, Julie...

    Ron is, but he's lost alot of weight this year. His skin is all flappy now. He could lose a few more pounds.

    Kai is. He should be around 30 or so but he's just pushing 40 right now. It's really been bothering me because it's getting hot here. Both the weight and fur doesn't help. We're working on giving him at least an hour of exercise a day. We're actually starting tomorrow .

    jesse used to be. we overfed her but now she's fine. (but we keep her on a weight control diet just in case) she also has the extra skin too. so when she sits down, it flows to her butt; u can only see it though when we shave her.

    Griz is overweight. I think because everybody always gives him table scraps. But he's spoiled, so what are you gonna do?

    lol, kai gets LOADS of tablescraps. Mind you, healthy table scraps (most of the time). Occasionally, I'll slip him a chip or something but it's usually some kind of fruit or maybe a bit of chicken.

    Reggie looks a little thick sometimes but I don't consider him overweight....he's just big-boned.

    I think Smokey feels a bit skinny, but he's always been that way.

    Although my mom thinks Nebo is deathly thin, I think he's at a healthy weight at 53 lbs. I've felt fat and thin dogs, and he feels just right to me.

    Callihan weighs 120lbs...but I don't think he is overweight...I just think that he is not quite tall enough and long enough

    just like me...If I was 6' 5", I would currently be at the perfect weight!

    Mick isn't overweight, even though everyone who sees him says he is. He's about 25lbs, I think that's a good weight. He doesn't get table scraps but he gets fed things like carrots, salad and so on. No meat allowed. If we did give him meat, he'd be one fat pooch

    Leather is overweight. She's 110 pounds. She could probably lose 5-10 of those. I CAN'T WAIT until I move out and take her. I'll get her on homecooked meals instead of dog food, and put her on a wonderful exersise program.

    All my other pets are fine. Sara is tiny lol. She's only 7 pounds. Icarus is my tiny boy, but he's not thin. He's 283 grams. Frisco was looking a little thin for a while, so I've upped both his and Icarus's food intake. Frisco is 375 grams. Timber is at a perfect weight. She lost more than 30 pounds since winter according to my vet's scale, but I dunno.... She is 62 pounds.
    I've been BOO'd!

    Daisy is at as perfect weight of 53 pounds, according to our vet. Molly is 70 pounds, but I think she could at least go to 75. I'm trying to fatten her up!
