Scottie gets matted hair easily these days as he is older now and I am not doing my share in helping Stuart with brushing him.  Scottie had a trouble fur spot that I had to take him in this morning to get brushed out.  From the visit, I learned that Scottie has lost another 6oz in the past 3.5 months, but he appeared to be doing fine otherwise.  Plan is continue to find some kidney formula food that he likes to eat and to brush him daily.  This picture below is how much fur they removed from him today.
