I think that what really gets them is that their hips go when they're ~8. This is why I've always been liberal about letting her on the couch and always giving her soft places to lounge. Make it easy on the hips and she wont get the arthritis that leads to inactivity which leads to obesity and ultimately death

She gave Nana a little nip when she went after our son, nothing to hurt her more of a warning to lay off. Nana has never physically went after the little turd since. A good verbal scolding does just fine. I gave him a haircut once and he started to freaking out (we were behind closed doors) and she literally was trying to come through the door, she is very protective of Reid.

She still looks pretty good but is a bit over weight. She has been fairly inactive but this is just the way she is. When we first got her we took her for a walk up Nosehill, half way up she decides she had enough and we had to carry her. She has her own couch at least she thinks it is hers so she is always lounging on a soft surface. We just went to the hill and she still only goes half way up and that is enough for her. She is the biggest softie you will ever meet, but I owuldn't want to be the one who came afer one of my kids.
