Tubby Toby and Ribby Rosie (pics)

[Ravenwood]

It was a bit dull this morning and my camera isn't too good in poor light so not the best photos! Would you believe the sun came out as soon as we got home - typical eh!

Toby picks up these large flat stones and carrys them widthways!

Son found them a suitable stick!

As Toby always has to have something in his mouth!

Couldn't leave Flyn out - my only 100% fit and healthy dog!

My new car is just a week old and already stinks of wet dog!

Lovely pics.

Wouldn't be worried about Rosie's weight at all, she looks well covered to me, especially given her age, breed

My ma is going to go spare when she comes back and smells her car. Of course, I wouldn't dream of using my own

From those pics Rosie looks fine, she seems to be carrying more weight than my Evie did at the same age and she is a picture of health now. I would always prefer to see a pup on the slim side rather than overweight. Toby looks happy enough in those pics, love the stone jammed in sideways. I can see why you want to slim him down a bit but tbh was expecting him to look a bit depressed and he certainly doesn't.

I agree she looks lovely, she is about the same weight as the puppy we have in, he may be a little smaller than her in size, I will try and remember to take my camera tonight and get a picci of him.
Lovely piccies.

Beautiful dogs they all look in fine fettle to me, I have had naturally lean dogs all my life and I know how you worry, but dogs are made to be fit and lean not too chubbos

Thank you all for your encouraging comments

She is very shiny (can't see that in those photos) and I wormed her yesterday - she had been wormed twice before I got her and she appears to be perfectly healthy - just doesn't seem to have any appetite.

I will monitor her and add sardines or tuna if need be but I don't want her to become a picky eater!

Cayla - really looking forward to seeing pics or your pup to compare as they are the same age. Why is he in rescue so young?

 

[CAYLA]

He was shockingly handed in as a stray

 

[Ravenwood]

And no one has come forward? That is shocking

Don't worry, all BC's are sleek at that age. She looks fine!! And great pic of Flynn! Love the Toby + stone pic!!

Yes, we have a very lean BC, who is wormed regularly and gets double the amount of feed the others get, but just seems to live on nervous energy. Everything in life is SOOOO exciting to him! Yet his brother is on much less feed than the others, and is prone to being a chubster...weird!

Rosie looks fine, just going through a gangly stage

Toby looks happy, and he's only a little tubby - he's hardly obese I love his stick, does he do Henry's favourite trick and run behind you holding them, taking your legs out as he does so?

They all look lovely!!

The collie here - a working sheep dog - has always been on the slender side but he never sits still and has a huge bowl of food everyday which he polishes of - they just tend to be more Twiggy like than spangles and labs!

Toby looks fab - as MM said I expected him to look quiet some how but he looks 'normal' lab to me!! Max always has something in his mouth as well - sticks, shoes, slippers, socks........anything really
