"k9k" First I have to ask you about your spelling of mamma and pappa??? That is the swedish spelling of mom and dad, so of course when I saw it I wondered if you have some nordic bloodlines in you lol....
Our Buffy (Golden mix) is spayed and she is fat and thats no joke, she has turned soooo wide, I will have to put her on a diet. I dont think it is only because of that, she was injured when she was young, hit by car, and had to be on steroids for a long time, carried with towel and so on, and even though the vet has promised us that she is in absolutely no pain, and she is running after the squirrals with wagging tail, I think since she is moving a little more clumbsy, she does not run quite as much as she would had she not had her injury, so it is probably a combination, but she has absolutely grown way way too wide. She also loves her food, so not at all looking forward to having to cut back and put her on diet food. Zeus is neutered and is now a good weight, we had problem to keep his weight up before, now he is a nice size. I also think he was very stressed out before, he is a rescue and was quite a worried dog when we got him. But I have heard a lot of people saying that they tend to put on more or less weight after altering.
