Lisa - thank you so much. She is a beauty!
I do not think that people on here realize that what they say can effect someone. This forum goes out to so many people and you do have to watch out how you go about doing something and especially watch how you say something. I do hope that all things will work out in the end. Dixie is a cutie. She may put on some more weight at around a year - 1.5 years of age. I had a bitch that was soooo small and seemed once she got to 4 pounds she stopped growing for a while. I just kept hoping that she may put on just one more pound in the end. I also checked with my vet and he assured me she would be fine and be close to 5 pounds as an adult. Well, you know how we worry - I was the worst and started to think of her weight all the time. It was driving me crazy! Well, she is now 5 pounds and did not put on the last weight till the very end. She is now 1 year and 5 months. I purchased her at 6 months of age and she was okay at that age and felt like she would be about 5 pounds. Well, then from 6 months to 1 year she did not grow much at all. So you just do not know.
My best to all involved and hope there is a happy ending.
