Oh so that's how you do it. I was going to try and get Mickey to stand on our scale, hehe.

The last time Mickey got weighed, he was 35lbs (about 5 pounds over what he should be). I know Shelties are typically 25lbs, but Mickey is big-boned and what the vet called "costaud" (which I think would translate to 'husky'). Anyways, since then, we have put Mickey on a diet and excercised with him more. I'm positive he's lost a lot of it.. especially all that fat he stored up during the winter. He even looks thinner. I can see a nice shape to him now even. I'll weigh him him later today.
