Hello Kyle and welcome to myLot! Your two babies are sweet. But I'd worry about their health if I were you. (oh, well, I tend to worry to much ...) Being too fat is not good for a dog's health. Their joints suffer and also their heart. The lifespan of a fat dog is shorter than the lifespan of a normal, healthy dog. Maybe you should reduce the food intake, as I did with my dog, Binne. She started to gain weight but some of my friends told me: "she's fat, can't you see?". I couldn't, because I was used to the way she looked. But then I looked at her with a critical eye and I realized my friends were right. So I started to reduce the food intake and I also forbade any 'treat' during our mealtime. In two weeks she lost the extra weight and since then I've been more attentive at what she eats.

I don't know if running in the backyard is enough to help them loose weight. My dog, Binne, has more than three hours of running and playing outside (we live in a block of flats and we don't have a yard, so I need to take her for long walks in order to maintain her healthy). I wonder if you don't have somebody who undermines your efforts. My partner used to give Binne treats when I was at work and I was wondering why she doesn't loose weight. Now he understood that it's important to eliminate those treats and everything is OK.

I love dogs! I have two dogs, one is called Shi tzu (as his race), and the other one is called Troy. Their way to act is really funny! Actually the smallest is the leader! I mean, if the Shi tzu is eating and Troy comes, Shi tzu leaves the food, I really like seeing how do they act. They're pretty, and very active :) They always proves their loyalty and love protecting people, they're no doubt the man's bestfriend :)
