I call Holland my Chunky Monkey.
She had her check-up on Saturday, and I was really curious to get her weighed. She was always underweight, then we discovered her teeth troubles, and the last time I had her weighed was last February (2010), about 3 weeks after her dental, she was at 6 1/2 pounds, and the vet wanted to see her gain another pound. When I adopted her, the vet said she probably wouldn't ever get to more than 8 pounds.
So I was guessing she would weigh in at 7, 7 1/2 pounds on Saturday. We put her on the scale... NINE POUNDS!!!! She's a chunk!
She still scored a 5 on the body condition scale, but her new vet doesn't want to see her gain any more weight. That was NEVER something I expected to hear about my petite little girl...
What do you think: chunky monkey or just right?:
Both the vet and the vet tech commented on how beautiful she is
and the vet said her coat is just gorgeous, so soft and shiny. So I guess that's the one thing my camera DOES capture well, her pretty fur.
