My Mother and I got ours from the same breeder, but Mom's is 13 pounds, mine at 10 years is 5. I have had many, many more vet bills. I think the problem I have is that with her being so small, I can't let things "work themselves out" like you can with a larger dog. 24 hours without food, or with diarehhea etc., makes a bigger difference at 5 pounds than at 13 - just like with babies vs. toddlers and children. I'd never trade her, though. Not in a million years.
