My baby boy needs some fat!!!!!!! - Page 5

The  GSD looks good but that chair he/she is on is awsome thats a nice built piece of furniture.

 Hans that was good statement with back up thanks.

only issue i c is that the dog is in a chair, that 2 me is an alpha spot not his...............................not tryin to start SH^&& but anyway....how do mine lok 2 yall??????????????????????? fat skinny???????????

LOL... thanks, Hans...I think we pretty much agree...different dogs will gain weight and will mature at different rates so there is no hard and fast rule about how much an individual dog should weigh at any given point in his/her development.  As a rule of thumb, keep your dogs lean!

Reggie, you need to have more respect for your elders. I assure you that is not Keith's grandmother's chair. I don't believe they had upholstery like that when his grandma was alive. Anyway, Keith may be ancient, but he is a well-respected member of this forum. That just might be his favorite chair, the one he recovered from his hip replacement in. 

LOL Jenni you are right  Mr. Grossman Sir I am so sorry.  I lost my manners for a moment there.  I guess that happened when I crosed the 5 decade mark.  

LMFAO!  Jen, you're such an ass-hat.  

Love ya.

LOL..I know you do...we're peas in a pod.  

ass-hat now in 32 yrs, ive neva heard that 1 b 4 lol

Go with your gut. When my puppy lay beside me on the couch and I would stroke her side I could feel her ribcage protruding and her back bone was quite prominent. I was feeding her home cooked, canned and good kibble yet I just had this feeling she was too skinny. I had never felt a ribcage like that with any other dog I had ever owned. She just never gained weight. I used to call her Ronny Scrawny as she was a bone rack. I knew something wasn't right but I didn't listen to my gut. Then the loose stools started, the ravenous appetite and the numerous trips to the vet, only to find out she has EPI.  At that point she was down about 15 pounds from an already skinny dog.
So, from my heart I ask you what is your gut feeling. I think deep down everyone knows when there is something not right and if you feel something is not right and your pup is simply not gaining weight then you should act on it.
Have a look at the 7 week old Malinois video on here.  That reminds me of every puppy I have ever owned in the past.. Sturdy and filled out. That was never my Maya.

I'm just saying.....   you asked for some advice,,,,, I am no expert but I am answering from my heart.
