A four or five pound dog is a VERY SMALL DOG. I really don't personally think that there is any justifiable reason for breeding them any smaller, when it is so detrimental to their health and safety, on so many levels.

So, this is my story, and my caution, and my plea. I hope I haven't offended anyone with it, but maybe our nightmare experience will justify me speaking out at this time.

God bless all the 'cups, 'pots, and in-betweens, and keep them safe!!!

Wonderful post, intelligently written, and this caution should most definitly be heeded. Thank you for sharing. AND thank goodness your pup is OK.
