If it was me, I would snatch her up! Just being small does not mean unhealthy! It is the BAD BREEDING/CROSSING BAD PEDIGREES that creates the majority of health issues....if you have a small dog, there are precautions that must be taken in order to keep that tiny, safe....but if the breeding behind that baby is a healthy combination, you wont have health issues just because she is small! CONGRATULATIONS on your new little family member! You will be a perfect mommie for her, Lucy will have a playmate to distract her while you are busy, and Peanut will enjoy a home where she is safe and can be adequately provided for....and wont be snatched up by someone with a "get rich quick scheme by breeding little white dogs" in mind!!!!!

I sleep with my dog in my bed, and Peanut is too small to jump up and down. She slept by my head all night and did really well.
I wasn't planning on another dog, but now I'm seriously considering keeping her. My youngest daughter is moving out in January and I will be by myself with Lucy. I work all day plus I have an internet jewelry business that takes up quite a bit of my time most evenings. Lucy gets impatient when I'm making jewelry at night and I'm hoping Peanut will be good company for her. Peanut seems healthy enough despite her small size. I will talk to her owner about the breeder. Thank you so much for all your advice. I will post a picture of my new baby soon  |
