Metabolism

Leo needed to go to the vet today for updating vaccines and to get him on Frontline for ticks. (On Sunday I found two ticks on him even though he had only been in the backyard or on walks in the neighborhood recently - I'll spare you the photos of those nasty things)

I talked to the vet about how he has gained some weight over the past 6 weeks or so. She said that since he is about 4 and 1/2 years old, his metabolism is probably starting to slow down, just like what happens with us when we hit our 30's. She wasn't worried about his weight, but didn't want him to gain any more. So, since he's been getting a decent amount of exercise since the weather has warmed up, it's less food for Leo. Sorry guy, I guess you know how I feel.
