If you can see the ribs they are too thin; if you can't feel them they're too fat.  If you can feel them without a layer of fat on top they are fine. 
I cannot see or feel my ribs :innocent:

We did get our GS from GSR but it makes me mad that there's a great home going and so many dogs needing home - and you've had them before - what more do they want!! Than again Lucy is the winner in all of this so I say lucky her and I hope she brings you as  much joy and love as Sasha does for me.  :hug:

I have often wished that someone like me would take as much care about being able to feel my ribs as I do about being able to feel the ribs of my dogs   ;) ::)

She is a lovely looking dog and has definitely fallen on her feet this time. I am sure you will all be very happy together  :thumbsup:

Aww, Karen - you gotta post that head-on-foot pic :)

You mean this one Sally ?  ;)
On day one she was right by my feet and from day 2 she's been on my feet  :love:

The bottom one was taken while I was working on my computer, heard a wee voice whispering "I love you" and looked round to see Jessica with Lucy - soooooo adorable  :love: We've all missed having a dog in the house, it feels like home again  :)

 :love: :love: so pleased for you all.  There are so many rescue dogs out there waiting for a forever home.  Really do not understand the GS rescue you tried originally though.  I agree that a home is not a home without a dog in it.

Sounds like it was meant to be - very happy for all of you. Sometimes wonder about rescue centres.
