BUT - I did talk to her and she said that because of her size, if I want to wait a little while longer, that it is fine with her. My best friend came over today and saw her for the first time and just FLIPPED at how small she was. Really, she was very, very surprised. I have sent her pictures...but to see her size in person really freaked her out! She couldn't get over it - and when she picked her up she said she felt like she was holding a newborn kitten I told her DON'T SAY THOSE THINGS! She WILL grow! I just know it! She has to Because her size just totally freaks me out. I really want her to get to 3 and 1/2 - 3 being the SMALLEST. I really, really hope she does Not to mention my best friend just got her second Yorkie (a male) and it is only 4 months old (a month YOUNGER than my Tatum) and he is my Stedman's size - and Stedman is 14 months old and weighs 4 lbs! So that's probably another reason why she freaked out so much lol.
Anyway so enough rambling but I am just as scared as you are girl. I know that I am probably going to have to pop a nerve pill when Tatum goes in because I am going to be so nervous that I'll be shaking! |
That's the thing! It's in my contract with the breeder that she has to have it done by 6 months of age, with proof, or the breeder can take her back!!!
I was going to call & ask her if I could wait a while because of her size, but then when I had her at the vet last week for her last boosters (which were late because of her size...) & because she had a big fall...the vet mentioned scheduling an appt. He wanted to schedule her right then & there!!! I bawled when I got into my car after because it opened my eyes at how soon 6 months is! He said now's the time to do it. Ugh.
We're hoping Chloe makes it to at least 3lbs, too, but I'm not so sure! She was way under 2lbs less than a month ago. I know she hasn't gained anything since we've had her. In fact, she seems to have lost some
I've been trying to feed her as much as I possibly can without stuffing her poor little tummy too full, but it's so hard.
That's funny that you mentioned the nerve pills, I told my boyfriend I'll need to go to the doctor to get something to knock me right the hell out before we take her in. I'd prefer to be sleeping/drooling in the corner for the whole time she's there than freaking so bad I get to the point of vomiting. Uggh.
