They weren't huge, but they certainly didn't look like athletes.<br /><br />Chewy looks huge due to all his fur. People are shocked when I tell them he's only 15 pounds. I make them touch him so they can see it is all an optical illusion.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715453703592474992noreply@blogger.com
