pomtzu, Yes, Luke is gradually losing weight. During 2010 he went from 27 to 22 lbs. He weighed 22 in Dec 2010 and probably has lost some since then. He hasnt been back to vet since then to be weighed. hmmm, I should weigh him on my bathroom scales. That's easier said than done though because he does not like to be picked up. He no longer eats dry food. Since Dec '10 he eats canned food (wellness & w/d) AND is WALKING MORE. He even plays some now (photos I posted) and often follows us part of the way when we walk the doggies. He's so cute when he follows us, then stops and waits for us, then actually runs a few feet to meet us... Kay in NC
