Kim - I'm beginning to think the shelter had her age wrong and that she is older. They guessed she was about 9 months old when she came in to them last April so that would make her about 1 year 7 months old. She's not very active and her teeth look like they may have a lot of build up - hard to tell - that I think she may be older. I'm going to get the vet's opinion when I take her in April for her annual shots. The vet who saw her when I first adopted her was a new, fresh out of school vet and she didn't do a very thorough exam in my opinion. She first thought Scout was a kitten but once she got her out of the carrier she looked confused. Now I make sure I get my old, regular vet every time we go.

I know Pee Wee is a lot younger than her but seeing him slim and not so pudgie just really made me realize how overweight she really is. I'm back to free feeding them because the designated time feeding was not working out for any of us. Guess I need to figure out something better. Hopefully my vet will help.
