I'm so happy!

For those of you who don't know, I got Missy at 7 weeks, 4 days old. Not because I wanted a puppy that young, but because that's just the way it worked out. I had no size preference for my pup either, I just happened to get a tiny. She's 1 lb 3 ozs today, so she's gained an oz in 1.5 weeks.

I contacted the seller 5 mins after she'd placed the ad for the pups, so she gave me first pick from the litter. I fell in love with Missy through pictures before I'd even met her, and when I met her in real life there was an instant connection. I'd been searching for my Yorkie for just over 3 months, and none of them really seemed right for me. This was definitely my dog.

She had the pups in for their 1st set of vaccinations at 7 weeks, 3 days of age. She told me that I could come the following morning to pick Missy up. 2 other people were coming to pick out their puppies right after me, and while I was there somone else called and asked her to reserve the last pup for them. So they were going fast!

This was her 1st litter, I don't even know if she plans on having anymore. The Mom and Dad are both gorgeous IMO (I'm no expert on Yorkies, but I'm attaching pics and would like opinions). Mom is 5 lbs and Registered, Dad is 3.5 lbs...she has sent me tons of pics of both of them and even pics of the grandparents. Both parents were really friendly, the Mom LOVED when I held her. I don't think she would have ever wanted to be put down. I think the lady only did this one litter because she hadn't yet paid for the Mom. She mentioned to me that selling 2 of the 4 pups would finally pay for her. So, she's not an experienced breeder, it was obvious that she wanted the pups to go on that day though. She felt that they were ready, and the vet gave her the go ahead to send them off to their new homes as long as she waited 24 hrs after the vaccinations.

The pups were born and raised in a very nice home, and kept in her kitchen in an ex-pen. They had a nice bed, toys, food and water, and Missy was pee pad trained when I got her. The woman obviously loves animals, she has 2 Yorkies, a Pug dog, and several birds. She makes clothing and accessories for the pups as a hobby.

I was willing to do anything for Missy. I knew it could mean major vet bills getting her so young. I have rescued a dog before at age 4.5 weeks, she was the BESTEST friend I could ever ask for. I had to put her to sleep after 15 wonderful years last summer, and I hadn't been ready for another pet until right now. Missy has filled that empty hole in my heart.

Missy is doing well. I still have to give her Nutracal 3 times a day, but besides that she's a normal, active, playful pup!

Here is a pic of Missy taken today on her 9 week birthday, and 2 pics of her Mommy and 1 of her Daddy. I look forward to reading your comments.

Thanks for letting me share.
