pupdate *8 pics*

Mikey is such a cute dog. When his mouth is open, it looks as if he is smiling. From these pics it doesn't seem to me that he is too skinny.... maybe it's different in person.

He looks like the right weight. Next time explain to the neighbor he is such an energetic boy he burns of calories quickly, but he is at a healthy weight for his breed mix. People are used to pugs being overweight, frankly, but remind them he is half beagle!

And don't worry about the years. Our beloved Great Dane mix Grace started going grey at age 4, and as Danes are only supposed to live 7-ten years, it was worrisome ....but she lived to be 14 1/2 years old!

Hi, Mikey, brown-eyed muffin! You are very handsome!

Hi there adorable Mikey! Good to see pics of you. (I need to get some posted of my pups) I think your weight is fine. Many people are used to seeing heavier dogs, who should not be that heavy, and then feel you're too skinny.

Woo hoo, it's MIKEY Time! Oh how I've missed seeing this rascal on my screen Tried to eat a FROG? Yep, typical for Mikey ha ha haaa. Did his mouth get all foamy after the frog sweated out? Defense mechanism in frogs, saved many from my childhood dog Princess, who never seemed to learn.

Love the 'brown eyed muffin' photo as well as "precious muffin (sleeping) and lounging on the stairs.

Weight looks fine, just respond to folks by saying, "his vet loves his trim athletic toned shape, thank you!" And smile. Get 'em every time!

He's so cute, I love his big brown eyes. He definitely looks at a good weight to me, people are just used to seeing overweight dogs...especially being a beagle/pug mix those are two breeds that are almost always overweight, it's so rare to see one that's not fat (especially pugs).
