Our Tessie is a tiny little girl at 2.8 lbs. I definitely never thought that we would have such a tiny dog. I had been wanting a small breed- such as a yorkie or bischon, but was thinking more around the 7-10 lb range. However, in March of this year, we were blessed with the opportunity to adopt Tessie. Due to heartbreaking health issues, her parents were needing to find a new home for their tiny girl that would be without other dogs or small children- which a long story- short, is how we we ended up with our little blessing
I was so nervous bringing her home because my husband is a normal big guy
and I was afraid that he would not understand how delicate she is. It is so cute how he "babies" her. It is truly amazing how smart (& cautious) she is- which I'm sure has kept her injury free in her 3+ years.
Of course, she has no idea that she is "tiny." One of my favorite quotes that describes her is from my 9 yr. old nephew who said that I needed to get her a shirt that says, "I may be small- but I'm mighty!" Definitely describes our little bundle of joy!
