Aww poor doberkids. I also have the cats on a diet so I kinda know what you are going through. I hope your kids lose the extra "padding" soon. My husbands family tease us about Gracie being to thin. But they also forget she is a dobe and is suppose to be thin. She has a little pouch, which I think she may have been a mother at one point in time. But really I can't tell for sure.
