Hello!

I'm so glad to hear from so many others who have "little ones".

As I had said I hadn't planned to get such a little breed. My daughter slept at a friend's house who had recently had a litter of Yorkies. Mariah's parents are bigger so we expected her to get bigger - which was just fine with us...but that didn't happen. It's turning out she is the "runt" of the litter had her brothers and sisters are much bigger. I didn't get a "health guarantee" and to be honest I am all new to this and didn't even know this existed. We go to church with the people we got her from and our daughter's are friends.

Julie, It is interesting to know we each have a bichon and a Yorkie. Our bichon took quite a while to get used to the new puppy. She's 7 yrs old and just wasn't interested in "playing" at first - which is all Mariah wanted to do. It took a while but now they get along so well! I love it when they curl up and sleep together because for a long time I wasn't sure it would ever happen!

Baileysmom31, It's so strange because I have a cat named Cosmo and my daughter's name is Tia. I LOVE that name!

I too am very scared to have Mariah go under anethesia and get fixed at her small size. We haven't discussed it yet at all. We never did get our bichon fixed. I was so nervous about her having surgury that we kept putting it off and next thing you know so much time had passed! I always wonder if we made a mistake or not. I just wasn't sure the risk of surgury was worth it. I guess I'll have to do a lot more research before I decide either way.

We are having so much fun with our little Mariah - she is such a blessing!
