Wow! 7.9 pounds at 15 weeks! The venerable elders of the Teapot Club and Secret Society were literally bowled over at the hunka, hunka burning love who goes by the name of Ziggy.

Examining the often-inaccurate Yorkie Growth Charts that exist on the Internet, Ziggy is literally off the charts! Now that's a teapot!

Unfortunately, an ancient club such as the Teapot Club and Secret Society has time-honored rules. Normally, the elders don't accept teapots until they reach the age of 1 year. On special occasions with fast-growers, they have accepted as low as 9 months.

But Ziggy is a teapot the venerable elders would not like to let go, so they've made a special ruling: As of now, Ziggy is an honorary member. Check in at 6 months with an update and another picture, and we will gladly embrace Ziggy into full membership status.

Welcome to honorary status, Ziggy. You're adorable.
