My little Deja turns 1 on Sunday! I raised her and her brother as orphans a year ago. Her mother died after a C-section. The mother was not mine, but long story short, I ended up with the puppies at a week old, weighing about 3 oz apiece. The next few weeks were long and tiring but ever so rewarding! She is now 1 and weighs in a 4.25 lbs.
The breeder sold her brother, Rumor, to a good home, and she allowed me to keep Deja. Well, I still say Deja is technically hers because my husband will only allow me 1 Yorkie
--that keeps him quiet about it.
When she and her brother began moving around more, I found Deja couldn't use one of her back legs. The vet, at the time, said she was too tiny to diagnose, and she might come out of it on her own. Well she did!! Kiwi (her half sister from same mother) is my house diva dog, and Deja is my crazy hiking companion. She can go for miles. It brings tears to my eyes when I think of how sad it was when she appeared crippled and now to see her run, jump, and be such a happy little girl!
Happy birthday, my little darling Deja. Extra baconz for u2day!
