Here is a pic of her back then and now...you can see her "size" didn't change much...

For example, MyFairLacy's weight was just over 3lbs., my girl Gracie was just under 3lbs. and their adult weight is verry different from eachothers, 7 1/2lbs compared to 3 1/4 lbs. I should also say that I used the double the weight at 12 weeks mehod, to choose my Gracie and did not get what I had expected. But I love her just as much
Can anyone tell me what is the best way to weigh my yorkie, ive put her on digi scales and it doesnt move........
