 Thank You everyone
Thanks Everyone for the gracious welcomes. We are learning so much.
Wanted to explain about why we got him so early. It was not so much my choice.
I have always wanted a Yorkie(lol) surprise? My BF has 2 girls(sisters). She bred both girls about 3 years ago and ended up with one little girl that she gave to my daughter. Turned out to be a small teapot-9.5 lbs. (LOL) Best little girl.
I wanted one for myself so she said to wait a couple of years and she would try again. So she bred both girls again early this spring??? One had 2 pups and one had 3 pups. Marshall came from the little of 3. He was the only one of the litter of 3 to survive. Mama would have nothing to do with him. She would only nurse if someone force her to lay down and nurse. never voluntarily. As he got older, she really started rejecting him. The other sister tried to nurse him but Mama didn't want him and did not want her to want him. So BF called me up and said for his safety- we really needed to pick him up this particular weekend(the weekend we got him).
He has been doing great so far. We started him on the Canidae(which we feed our other guys). He is not caring for that. So for now he gets wet food. Vet says for his size- prob just as well. We supplement with Nutrical 3-4 times a day. He loves it tremendously. Was hoping for another teapot but vet & BF think he is gonna be small like Mama. But he has a better attitude about life. Not like Mama..Thank Goodness...
So he is 9 weeks now and doing great. Will post more pics soon. |
