Ha Ha Ha,  it always amazes me too when they weigh in less than I thought 
they should.  SeaJay is 72 pounds and I would say by looking at him he's an 
80 pounder.  If you think Bo needs to bulk up start giving him more 
RMB's.  I still can't believe I was so off on that one.  There I was trying 
to put weight on SeaJay for the shows in October, as Judy said he was thin 
so I was giving him extra fat globs and more hind quarters less T-necks and 
he did gain but not what I thought he should have.  What I did get was a 
dog with lot's of energy!  Wowza was SeaJay up,,, must have been all that 
fat he was turning into energy.
