gosh im so sorry to hear about your little one that passed. mine is 1 year old and only 1 lb. 4 oz. which is very scary. However the vet has ssaid, that as long as i keep on eye on her, she knows of many tinies who've lived until 12 or older. wow!!

Precious was very healthy till she was about 5. Then an enlarged heart started causing problems and she had to be put to sleep at 8years and a lot of money on vets. The vet advised me do NOT get the really small "baby face" yorkies because of health problems being much more common in the smaller ones. My current Yorkie is Shadow and she is 2 and a half and weighs just over 8 lbs. She is very healthy and active and pregnant. lol I had her bred over July 4th holiday and will be a grandparent around Sept. 1st!! I am really excited. (I probably sound silly. lol)
