Hope poor Georgie is back to his old self (or young self in his case ) now Helen poor lad

Helena It strange to find a dog on Burns that is too fat , people usually say they are too thin ...have you tried Kelties they are much nicer than bonio and don't have wheat in them

Now I heard you have to feed less of the Burns than the other dried kibble, so I actually gave them less too! He only has 2 bonios a day, but this take him longer to eat than a Crackerjack (which are probably the same as the Kelties they don't like those much!) as they are hypoallergenic treats from James Wellbeloved. He really honestly doesn't have a lot of food with me, I have fed my other dogs in the past far more than these two get, and Cassie is spot on veering to thin sometimes because she is so hyper. He's not impressed with this new portion control idea going on in my house at the moment either, I can tell you! I caught o/h sneaking them a Rich Tea biscuit last night when he made his tea too! He got a telling off!

Yes Rich, Georgie is quite "tucked up" at the rear end when you hold all the thick fur back, but his front end is the big part, but then I keep saying he's a dog, and dogs are much bigger than bitches in the g.s.d. variety anyway. I am only going to get him down to what he weighed when I first got him, around 40 Kgs. as when you think about it, an extra 7Kgs. is 1 Stone isn't it! Lol! I can actually feel his ribs too, very slightly though!

Thanks Foxy, he is ok on the rear end dept. now since he's been on fish and rice, and with a bit of luck he should have lost some weight on it too as fish doesn't contain much goodness does it! Poor boy, I feel a bit guilty actually, especially as I have taught him to run properly so he shouldn't really have put any weight on with all the additional exercise he gets here, and I can't bring myself to starve the poor dog, it's just not in me. It will have to take time I'm afraid, and hopefully I won't be visiting that nasty vet man for another few months anyway!

I take it all back. He nabbed a raw chicken and scoffed half of it last night! Oh and half a turnip and two carrots! Had a belly on him like a Weeble!!

And he certainly wobbled I can tell you!
