How Big is Your Dog?

I'm pretty okay with the size of everyone's dogs but I am appalled at how old all of you are letting your dogs get. I demand that you stop it immediately.

Name: Abrams

Height: 24" (super wiggly....maybe as tall as 25")
Weight: 86lbs (7 weeks ago)
Name: Cynder
Breed: retriever/spaniel mix (?)
Age: 8 years
Height: estimated at maybe...16"? I don't really know. She can walk underneath Abrams by ducking her head. Lol

Size comparison:
And I have decided the ideal dog size is around 20-21" and 45-55 pounds.

Wow. Just got back from the vet, and holy cow are my dogs not where they usually are weight-wise. Now I'm going to be making everyone I know put their hands on them and tell me if I'm terrible.
Gusto, who has been between 25.8 and 26.6 pretty much since he was 18 months is now 28.2. His whole chest broadened a ton in the last 6 months or so, and he is looking like such a boy. I hope he isn't fat!
Meg, who has been between 34 and 36 lbs for as long as I've had her is now 32.8. That wasn't so shocking, but I didn't think she was that low. I had cut her food back, because when I stare at her next to Gusto she looks heavy. She did get too thin for my tastes, and I had bumped her food back up. I thought she was closer to normal now.
