My Piper is a little one, too!! She is a year old and is finally over 2 1/2lbs. I have had her for about a month and she is a rescue dog. The person (breeder/hoarder) that had her had over 60 and was feeding them bird seed. The poor little thing was lice and mite infested, had worms, coccidia, a mouth infection, her ears were infected, and needless to say she was very malnourished. I'm just happy that she has found her furever home where she will always be taken care of and loved.
For the most part she is potty pad trained and is getting to where she will ask to go outside to go poop.
She has the cutest personality and wants to play with my cats REALLY bad but they want no part of her. All three of the cats are more than triple her size!!
I know that the littles can have more health issues but I just adore her. I will always feel like I have a puppy.
