Still Can't believe this! I was in the vet today and this guy had what I thought was a Maltese puppy. Turns out the dog is 3 years old and weighs under 3 lbs. He proceeded to tell me how he had to get her from MO because he couldn't find anyone or any pet stores in NJ who "MADE THEM THIS SMALL". He said the mom and dad were about 3lbs too. (note my head doing a WTF double take). He then proceeds to tell me about how she has liver problems and can't go outside at all or she might get sick. And tells me this is what is to be expected when you want a little one. He didn't want a big dog. (Note the WTF head turn again). Then he asks me how hard was it for me to find such a little one. I told him that Mac was not suppose to be little and was very sick as a baby. I had to bite my tongue so I wouldn't call this guy an A**hole. I guess it's not just "people looking for tiny Yorkies it must be for the teacup Maltese breed too. I think my head is still spinning.
