Charlie’s Milestone
August 2nd, 2010
Many posts ago, I mentioned that Charlie weighed about 36 lbs when we got him. I also mentioned that I would try to bulk him up a bit, mainly by diet and exercise. I thought his frame could handle more weight without getting fat. Well, today he was at the vet and he weighs 45 lbs! He is as active as ever and is certainly not fat. I think this is about his ideal weight.
Ruby was an obese 44 lbs when we got her. We slimmed her down to 32 lbs which is slightly above what I think her ideal weight is (even for the super-large Beagle that she is). Well today she weighed 35 lbs, so we have some work to do.
