I know what you mean.. I had one once that was too small, close to 2lb, I wasn't thinking of having a tiny dog like her.. I just felt in love for her and I couldn't live the breeder's house without her.. she was my life and she died 10 months later in my hands.. liver problems.. After that I had another one, the one in the picture, Mel, 2,5lb, she's 4 years old and really healthy tks God, but I needed to live her in Brazil when I came here with my husband. I think it's gonna be too much to her to go through quarantine, she's too delicate and gorgeous. So she's with my sister who has another tiny one like her.. and their are friends. I'm happy for her being happy but I miss her so much. This is why I'm looking for one like her and maybe in a few years, when they change this Pet Scheme, I'll be able to have my Mel with me again. xx
