Magnus · 06-12-2015, 10:34 AM

I'm in the extreme category. Magnus was only 4 weeks old when he came to me. (I won't go into details but the situation was out of my control.) He's 5 years old and is very healthy. He's also a "teapot" so maybe that helped? I don't know... I'm just counting my blessing that he doesn't have any major health issues.

I would NEVER bring home a puppy that's under 8 weeks. I made sure Zoey was at least 8 weeks old before making the purchase but even then, I was paranoid b/c of how small she was. And it was harder to treat her for ANY type of illness b/c of her size. She's 4 years old, no major health issues and only 5.5 lbs.
