I know-it's strange! She was 3 lbs for what seemed like forever! We were a little concerned at first, but the vet said not to worry, and that she had probably "plumped up" and then grew taller and longer! Plus, she was free-fed with her littermates, so I'm sure she just ate and ate We used to call her our "chubby little cupcake" because she had the most round little lower body, it was so funny! Now she's much more proportionate.

I should also add that when we first got Milli, we took her to the vet, and he said that she'd probably be 7-8 lbs because of her weight at 11 weeks...I was ok with that-I just wanted her to be about the same size as Emma. But, then when we kept going back for shots/checkups, she was STILL 3 lbs! The vet took back what he first said, and told us that she'd be little, since she was growing, and healthy but not gaining pounds-He said she's be lucky if she made it to 4 lbs! She's my "squirt", but she's perfect for Milli!
