I cant imagine it stopped growing at 24 weeks. I have 4 tinies and none of them stopped growing any earlier than other dogs. I occasionally have tinies crop up in my litters and unless I know someone I trust, I keep them. Until they are grown, they do take a little more monitoring to make sure they eat and do not have other problems as sometimes occur in tinies. My oldest is 7 at 3 lbs. 1 oz. and my youngest is 4 mos. at 1 lb. 7 oz. As far as loving them, they are just as loving and happy as my 10 lb. yorkie. They do require more effort to keep from stepping on them if they are allowed all over the house. My tinies are kept together and play and love each other just as the larger dogs. They are a little more difficult to groom because you have to take care handling them with their fragile bones, and of course jumping on furniture is a "No, No". Basically, they are healthy, happy pups who love to sit in your lap and give kisses.
