oh, i also love the "isn't [bunjee] kinda big for his age?" (in reference to bunjee being 4.5 lbs at 16 weeks).  bunjee will most likely grow up to be a non-standard 7+ lbs and with floppy ears to boot, but that sure doesn't stop him from prancing around the store like he's a show dog.  |
Sully is "non-standard" too, being nearly 9 pounds. Not that it's THAT big of a difference or I love him any less!
And Sully's ears are kinda floppy too. I wouldn't trade him for a BAZILLION dollars!!!!! But sometimes people gasp when they see Sully like he's some mutant huge yorkie. Umm, no? He's just as skinny as a 6lb'er but he's a couple inches longer....making the extra weight, I guess. I've compared him and he's just as tall and size around as a smaller dog, just longer.
I ran into this ignorant woman with a 2lb yorkie the other day @ PetSmart and she was talking about trying to find a stud to breed her! I was like, you DO know you're putting the mother's life in great danger when she's that small? And she and her boyfriend just blankly stared at me. (These people were greasy and smelled bad, on top of it all....if you know what I mean.)
PS. Sully says he wants to be a PRODIGIOUS YORKIE too!
