SOOOO TRUE. Whenever i have Sirius, the first question everyone asks is "is he going to stay that small?" my answer is "i hope not" - he weighs about 2 pounds right at 15 weeks and i cant wait for him to put on a little more wieght. they ask "is he a teacup?" to which my answer is "no hes a yorkie." and just try and tell someone theres no such thing as a teacup dog- its so annoying. i think society as a whole places so much emphasis on wieght. i wouldnt care if Sirius grew up to be 20 lbs [as long as he was healthy of course] even if his breeder told me he was supposed to .0324lbs. i love him no matter how much he weighs- just as i would any person in my family. if someone didnt like me because i gained 3 lbs, id think they were pretty shallow. i think the more people are educated about super small dogs, the sooner they will realize theyre not all theyre cracked up to be. dont get me wrong, i love the teenies-they are adorable- but the health problems that accompany them i can live without.
