Took the fluffs in for their check up and all came out straight A+s. I'm always happy to hear everyone is in good nick! :chili:He said their hearts are strong and good muscle tone.
My 2 newbies gained 2 pounds each since I got them. He couldn't get over the muscle tone on the Malts especially. He couldn't believe how strong they were,while he holding them to get blood drawn...
I told him we walk 2 miles any time the weather is nice.When we lived in Naples we'd walk 3 miles. He couldn't believe the Malts could make it that far,even 3 pound Rylee,who is now 5 pound Rylee. Rylee isn't carrying his leg funny now,he doesn't have that "hitch in his giddyup" like he did.
He said he didn't feel any fat on them. He has a couple people w/ Malts and their joints pop and they have no muscle tone to speak of. He said he couldn't feel any issues w/ the joints,so the long walking is ok to do.
Vet said he's going to recommend longer walks for those w/ Malts,since obviously it does them a lot of good. He said ,no wonder our dogs are in such good shape and live so long.
I love taking them on walks,it gives us some fun time,we talk and play and take breaks and they get a drink from the water bottle and a little treat when we get back.
I'm just so happy they're thriving and doing so well. Looking forward to many happy year together.:wub:
