    Spitfire is a little guy, stocky but just 14". He was about 31lbs if I remember right. At ten this has him noticably more energetic and happy. Don't let Luke play you for his sake.

    Oh and for comparison he almost weighed what Angus did and Angus is over 16" (and he lost a pound or two after that weigh in)

    Meadow is about 15 inches and 15.5 lb. She is thin but I think a good weight especially for agility. She is finer boned than my other two.

    Yep Angus is thinner but a boy so still stouter than some. Sca was a moose and solid muscle. Spitfire is a little guy and likely should be down near 20lbs. Still losing and rib testing. Though he is getting a little bit of a waist now.

    My mom (who never had a skinny dog) looks at Finnie and says ‘he’s losing weight’! I remind her that he gained 2 pounds in 1 year and the vet mentioned this to me because of his hock issues....do you think it worked??? Nope. I’m going to have to call the vet and get a prescription written down so I can show my mom and remind her. She drives me crazy, a normal weight for a dog is skinny to her!

    Luke is 13 inches tall. Weight 22 lbs. Of course his height depends on which leg you measure due to the growth plate birth defect.

    I am confused.why not let Luke play? He needs to play and needs the exercise?

    Who are you asking Selena? I don’t recall seeing anyone saying Luke shouldn’t play.
