I have to admit that when I bought Max, I wanted a tiny. I was told that he would be 4 pounds full grown and was delighted. I guess I fell for all the hype with the pictures of the tiny, dainty little dogs, etc. When Max reached 5 lbs. at about 4 months, I realized that bubble had just popped, but I had also begun to hear about how fragile the tinies can be. Even now, sometimes I'll be somehwere with Max and put him down, and he'll flop. I'll forget just how tiny he is (about 6-6.5 lbs at 8 months). Of course, if he was a tiny, I'd
still adore him, but just be even more careful.
We all love our dogs on this site and care about each others dogs. Our concern for the tinies is just because of that - we love them, and while they are healthy,they need to be watched over a little more because they can be a bit more fragile.
Welcome to YT and just take whatever is said as it is meant. We love your dog. Not everyone says what they mean 100% perfectly all of the time.
