I just thought I would let others know that we weighed Danny the other night. We had been told by the vet that he needed to lose weight. He is a big, tall boy, but he weighed nearly 23 kg, I'm ashamed to admit.
We had been giving him less food for quite a while, but hadn't weighed him. When he was groomed, and his wooly coat removed, he looked slim so we popped him on the scales....... and he was 17kg,
the weight the vet and I had decided he ought to be. I am not proud to have let him get so fat, but I'm very pleased to have got him down, as he is sooo much happier and has loads of energy again. I thought it might inspire anyone else on a diet to hear a success story, though you're probably more responsible than me and wouldn't let it get so bad in the first place.
PS Penny, it might explain why you couldn't believe he was that heavy when I told you; he probably wasn't!
