Fat Head

[finn's mom]

He's one of my favorites on Pet Talk, I always love seeing him. I am the same way with Finn that you are with Eli, we keep him fit and lean, and people always say he's too skinny. On occasion, they're right, if he's working really hard without an increase in his food. But, usually it's just because they're using to seeing thick labs. We have to watch Finn, though, too, to keep him at the right weight.

Eli, I you!

He looks pretty good to me!

He's a very handsome boy!

I wanted to warn you about something though that I noticed in the picture. Did you happen to get that red tie out from Walmart (Kmart?) I had the same tie out and used it with good results until my guy saw a squirrel one day. Now, he knows his boundaries when he's on the cable, he doesn't pull against it or anything. He just went running towards the squirrel, lost track of where he was I guess, and the cable snapped clean in the middle. There was no prior damage to the cable, no kinks or chewing through the vinyl covering the cable. It just snapped in half with a little exertion on his behalf.

Just wanted to warn you! I've since purchased a much sturdier cable for his potty breaks. Thank God he has a good recall, and that I was out there with him when it happened (why I always supervise!). It could've been scary.
