Alright...I KNOW we all go through this at some point...but, I haven't until now...I'm used to my BIG BOYS...who were rolly polly and chubby and heavy all of the way through...now we have our little package of dinomite...and she has started to stretch out and up and looks like a bag of bones!!LOL! She weighed 8.5#'s at the vet Wednesday when we went in for shots...and she has TONS of energy...but, she would eat from sunup to sundown EVERYDAY if I let her...if you go in the kitchen, you can count on Pua sitting at your feet looking up at you like "Um...so, where is it?"LOL! We are feeding her 1 cup a day of the Merricks( 3-12 pounds is 1/2 to 1 1/2 cups a day) and we are feeding it in three meals...with pumpkin and yogurt mixed in more often then not...yet, every time she eats...she finishes up and immediately sniffs around for more...now, here's the thing...her hip bones are showing...so, even though I know I am feeding her the recommended amount...I feel like I should feed her more...and she certainly thinks I should...I don't want to overfeed...as I know that causes problems as well...we started giving her some peanut butter...should I give her more of that? Cottage cheese? Or should I not worry so much...I know my perspective is messed up because Mic and Indy have NEVER looked gangly...they are six months old and most people mistake them for adults...except for the chest, they look like their dad...I can tell she is going to be lighter...but, I have heard that hips showing is a problem! ANd they are SHOWING...do I go with the max for her weight range now? She is only 8.5 the top feeding is for 12 pounds...I know I am neurotic...So, I am including a couple of pics...you tell me! 
Ok...this one does show her ribs...but, I confess...it was just too funny NOT to include!LOL!
