She's a great weight for a dog that is supposed to be 8-10 full grown. At least that's what the vet said when I took her in a couple of weeks ago.
I was adamant about not getting the teeny tiny yorkie when looking for a breeder.
Anyway, I was concerned about the health issue more than the weight issue. I mentioned her weight so those helping would know how big she is in relation to what levels of vitamins/minerals/ bad stuff she can eat.
I didn't think about the soaked in chlorine thing - got it!! I always bought those for me.... so that's what I fed her. We share the container
But that little bit of chlorine will not affect me like it will her tiny little body.....
OK - stopping at the store on the way home and buying fresh carrots -
Thanks, everyone!!
