I'm a bad mother - Perrin is too thin. And this isn't the first time he's been too thin. He's not skin and bones but he needs to work on his curves.
He gets his protein/kibble in the morning and again and in the evening and I give him his piggy salad with supper. He gets oatmeal as treats during the day (yay - carbs!). He likes to graze in the backyard.
Two reasons I think he hasn't maintained his weight: miscommunication with my husband on how much to feed him in the morning and the lack of grass in our backyard.
Between Perrin eating the grass and the drought, we lost most of the grass in one part of the yard last year. Then my husband dumped about a foot of leaves and dirt on the rest of the backyard to level it - so Perrin lost that grass. I didn't even think about more items to supplement Perrin's diet.
I'll review the feed amounts with my husband. And I'm putting up the computer to take Perrin to a clover patch.
