Lucy is 2.8 lbs and five months old. She is a very fragile little darling and always cold - but very beautiful.
We wanted a larger Yorkie because we have a Westie and he is not gentle! He is very sturdy and big boned compared to Lucy - with big Westie jaws!
There is a total difference in how I care for these two. Of course, Lucy is still a puppy and Ringo is 3 - so that makes a difference right there, I guess. Ringo loves to be outside in our fenced yard - unless it gets down to zero. Lucy hates it if it gets down below 40. Ringo loves to go for loong walks - not Lucy!
I hope Lucy gets in the 5-6 lb range so I don't have to worry so much AND she can keep up with Ringo. Even when Ringo is just playing with her - when he starts jumping around getting rough - I worry that he will accidentally hurt her. But she usually goes back for more so she seems to be holding her own.
I definitely would not want any dog smaller than Lucy. There was another puppy at this breeder's that had such a beautiful face - but she was only going to be 3 lbs full grown! Too small for our household. |
