The nurse wants to see another kilo off and has arranged for us to go back in four weeks. If he looks too skinny we can go back up a bit, but when I look at the ideal weights for the terriers we think he has in him - JRT and Patterdale - they both seem to have an ideal weight of between 5 and 8 kilos so we might need to go carry on for a while even after that. I just hope Fred's ideal weight doesn't turn out to be 6kilos, as that means he was over twice the weight he should have been! He's got quite short legs... In my defence there is no way I put all that weight on him, he was a bit of a barrel when he came to me, it just took me a shameful year (during which he probably did gain a bit more) to realise he really needed to cut down! I'd be interested to know what other owners dogs weigh who are around the same height (15 inches to the stop of his back above his front legs). His legs are only one inch longer than his chest!
