    I think with so many dogs in the world today being overweight we tend to see dogs that are at a perfect weight and think they are skinny becuase we're so used to seeing fat dogs everywhere!
    I catch myself doing that, even though I know better. I'd been thinking lately that Gull looks a lil' too thin, but thought Oz looked perfect. They were at the vet yesterday and Gull weighed in around 80 lbs, which is a real good weight for him and Oz at 74 lbs, which is about 4 lbs too heavy.

    The images of dogs on Animal Planet starving to death, always get to me, so I know I have a tendency to overcompensate sometimes and then have to reel myself back in, cuz too heavy isn't good either.

    Don't ask me, I'm the owner of a fat Pug! I've been working on the problem though and I think she's finally losing weight. I'm not sure if Morty put on a few. I thought he did but I think it was just his winter coat. Harley and Jimmy are slim and trim and never gain a pound (accept when we first got them, but they both needed it)

    I think your pup looks fine, but the pic is a little dark.
