This is my first post and I have had my baby Izzy Bella for about a week. She would have been from a pet store, but in a round about way. I have a customer who works part time at Pet Land on the weekends for the extra money. She worries about their care and spends extra time loving the new babies. Izzy Bella came in at 6 weeks with 2 litter mates on a Wednesday and by the time my friend got there on Saturday the 2 litter mates had died. Izzy Bella and a maltese where in a box to go to the vet to be put down. She said NO and took them home for extra TLC. Within 3 weeks the maltese had a clear bill of health and Izzy Bella was going longer periods of time without worry of hypoglycemia (sp?). She was released by the pet store because of lack of hair on the legs and above the tail and the hair on her body is thinner than the others you see the same age. They didn't want to wait for her to be beautiful. She does not itch or scratch, eats Nutro can food (what she was already eating), sleeps thru the night and loves to go to work with me. Potty training is going well and listening seems to optional at this point. She is the most wonderful thing I have ever seen and she snuggles so good.

She is now 17 weeks and about 19 ounces. Any ideas on diet, hair?

Thanks to everyone...this site is wonderful.
