I am posting to see if the message that I haven't posted will go away. LOL

I rescued a toy or teacup YT

earlier this week. It is 4.5 mo. old and I would say appx. 2.5 lbs. He seems very delicately boned to me.

He has very little hair. The lady told me she had shaved him, but I don't think it is true. What hair is there is very sparse, you can see his skin, he hardly has any hair on his ears. The very short hair along his spine is wirey. The hair on his legs is thin. The only hair with any length is on his head and muzzle. Head hair is wispy.

His coloring is charcoal grey. Around his face and legs is light goldish brown.
He has light colored eyes. A large black pupil, but the surrounding color is goldish/blue hazel. His nose is liver colored. His eyes are not black rimmed.
Foot pads are dark brown, nails are black but not super black.

He seems to be healthy and happy. He has plenty of energy but calms down for a snuggle pretty quickly. He is bright and picking up on the house breaking pretty good. Wees outside, poos inside. Oh well, it is small and I have only had him since Wed.

She gave me some papers to register him with American Purebreed or somesuch, but she put unknown on the registration # for the parents. She said she got the dog from her mother who breeds them.

I know this is not a quality dog, but I didn't want to leave it there. The young woman was about 8 mo. pregnant and had a toddler about 18 mo. chasing around after this pup.There was also a BIG dog in the house. They were moving into this single wide mobile home. It had steep rickety stairs. There was no yard at all. It was surrounded by thick trees. No grass or fence. I went into rescue mode.

I already love him. He has a great disposition. He took to me immediately. He has an uncanny ability to stay out from underfoot, yet is always just a step behind me. So many of these little fellows get tangled up in your feet.

I know ya'll will want a pic but right now I don't have a digital camera. Asking for one for Xmas.

Thanks for any thoughts you have on this.
