is your dog overweight?

[ParNone]

Well Me, Murph and Maddie can definitely afford to lose some
pounds. Murph and Maddie, about 4-5 lbs and I'll keep my
number to myself. I've never really given Murph and Maddie
table scraps or that much in the way of treats, so I think that's
a misnomer to think all fat dogs are eating table scraps.
I'm just not very precise in measuring out their dog food,
which I've recently changed. I'm trying to get both of their
weight down. Murph for his knee and Maddie, because I
noticed she's breathing a lil' bit too heavy lately. Here's
some pics I took at lunch today:

Now Oz I keep thinking looks too thin. He has the opportunity
to eat 4 cups of dog food a day, but only eats closer to 2 cups.
Then a few weekends ago, my Aunt commented on how thin he
looked. Oh my gosh! Was I paranoid then. Kept looking at him
and feeling his ribs. Driving him nuts I'm sure. Just can't handle
anything starving. That's one of the reasons I can't watch those
animal cruelty shows on Animal Planet, because it's so many
times an animal starving. I took him to the vet a few weeks later
for his annual checkup and he only weighed 55 lbs. Breed
standard wise, he should be more like 65 lbs. So I asked the vet,
because now I was really worried and he said Oz was perfect
weight. So I'd have to agree with pitc9, because I know I have
a tough time determining what's normal, I get so many
conflicting viewpoints.

Here's the pics of Oz today:
