She follows my friend everywhere. I would be so nervous having her at my place. Because of her size i would be scared that she could be stepped on or hurt by juping on and off furnitiure. Special care is needed for these precious little ones. I think keeping the blood sugar levels up is a 24/7 job. I am very grateful to have a full sized yorkie. Even though my friends yorkie is adorable, she scares me. I have not seen my friends yorkie in a while, so I do not know if her yorkie has gained weight. When I first brought Suzi home she was 3 pounds already. To me that is very small. But, i have seen smaller ones fully grown.
Mine is 2.75 pounds. She runs with the big guys and holds her own. they all eat together, I free feed and she makes it through the nights just fine. I worry about her jumping, but it does no good to worry cause she does it anyway.
