But back on topic, do you mean food is cheaper (pro) because you end up having to by smaller amounts of food and that's less money spent or because you're feeding your baby a different kind of food? |
Yes, unfortunately, Mr. Owl may very well have been looking to have himself yorkie snack! I think there's even an article on this site about an owl that tried to carry a yorkie off. The yorkie in that case was lucky to be a teapot, and was too heavy for the owl.
When I said food was cheaper, yes, I meant that a smaller dog eats less food. Thor eats about 1/3 a cup of dog food a day.
Teacups have the reputation of being sickly, but Thor is is in great health. If he falls off something, he bounces right up like he's made of rubber. However, he is only 2 years old, so I don't know if it will be like that when he's 12.
One thing that I find kind of funny is that he's usually following me so closely that I can't see him. If I have him off-leash, I have to turn around a couple times to see that yep, he's still there.
