thanks. Yes, she's 12.2 lbs, but I like it! She *loves* chasing balls & frisbees, and can -literally- out-run every jack russell terrier at the dog park!
As for the pet store thing, I just couldn't bear putting her down. It was around 8-8.30 pm and she was drowsy & sweet. PLUS, she was alone in her crib

All the smaller puppies had crib-mates, but she was all alone. I was naive and didn't know I inadvertently had supported a puppymill. I do not regret having her, not for a split-second. She's my best friend & greatest joy
