My little guy is 8 months old and 2.5 lbs. We are still in the midst of housebreaking - so I only put the food out in the morning and in the evening. I do not leave it out all day. We just came back from the vet today because he had to have 11 baby teeth pulled. It didn't look like they were going to come out on their own and his breath was real bad. I was worried about the anesthesia - but he did good. When I picked him up - he acted normal - as if nothing even happened. As for the barking - consider yourself lucky. We have a 5 yr old yorkie also who never barks - but the little guy - OMG - he wants everyone to know he's around. |
