our Lola is around 14lbs - 15lbs most of the time although she puts weight on in winter and loses it when she runs around more in the summer
she is ruining my back though - at the moment she keeps on climbing up the stairs to our bedroom and cant quite figure out how to get back down so i have to carry her down every morning - o the pain :lol:

:shock: frenchies do move then..the only stairs bertie tackles is his "doggy steps" to get on and off the settee!!

Yes, this is Chance. He had to have his front teeth removed over a year ago and is so happier for it. He is such a good natured little boy. He follows the dogs everywhere and sits as close to them as he can. His big pleasure in life is being stroked and as soon as you put your hand out he rushes across the room.
I have an English Lop and they are smaller than French he is 5kg and bigger than the cat. Here he is with my dog whos a cocker spaniel. I cant fit him in the cat basket to go to the vet so he sits on the front seat of the car. His litter tray is extra large and he still takes up most of it and he lives in a childs summer house. No hutch would be big enough. But so chilled and cuddly.
