Oh, I don't want him to be fat, but I think that his ribs might be a little too pronounced. He is long haired so it is hard to see, but you can really feel them. Shouldn't there be some meat on his bones?
Yes, he does have a fenced in yard and yes he does run around in it a lot with Lola, balls, my son, chasing squirells, Charlie (neighbour Cocker Spaniel), etc. I am worried that he might be burning off more calories than he consumes.
That's why I was wondering if there is some "fattening" food out there. Something a bit more affordable than raw meat. I KNOW he could eat a cow or 2 of that a day, beef is his favorite......I just can't afford that.
