Thanks for all the wonderful replies. To answer a few questions that were asked. Brutus is 4 months old - his birthday is May 26th. I am not sure why his first mom said I could have him and not the other little puppy, I didn't ask. She isn't really a breeder to say as Brutus' mom is half Pom and half Yorkie but his dad is all Yorkie, so I guess I have myself a Porkie! His face looks Yorkie, but you can tell by his fuzzy fur that he has the Pom in him.

As far as his belly conditions, he loves to eat anything. We found out the hard way some of his favorite things - mulch, sticks, grass, crickets - anything outdoors. We use to sit on the porch and watch him outside go potty and it never crossed my mind that he was ingesting all this stuff. Since all of his blood work and x-rays came back good, the vet said he must had eaten something that had to be worked out of his system. Now we are right on top of him, but the little sucker is fast and he'll grab a piece of mulch sit and look at me and then take off like he is in the Kentucky Derby - sheesh! The vet recommended that I gradually transition him back to kibble, but now I am waiting till his new food arrives, so I picked up some more ID food this am at the vet.

I also asked tham about pulling baby teeth during his neuter, but nothing was in his file, so the techs are gong to look at his teeth on Monday while we are at puppy class to see. He will be microchipped at the neuter as well.

I have said to all my friends, I am not sure who found who - funny that so many of you said the same thing.

Thanks again for all the wonderful support and advice, this site is wonderful and I will post some more pic's tonight when I am home from work!
