I couldn't imagine a full grown dog at the size Cali is now. I'd be a nervous wreck. The only reason I'm not now is because I know she is still growing. |
Exactly!~ I don't "want" Kimber to be disturbingly small - it freaks me out! This girl was all like "oh she's big, my friends is so small in fits in her pocket" and I'm like "oh - when it was a puppy?" and she's like "no - it only weighs 2 pounds, it's a teacup" and I'm like "there's no such thing as a teacup" and she's lke "that's what hers is, she had to feed it tubes of honey when it was a puppy"
In my opinion a good breeder wouldn't let that young/small of a puppy to go if it required feeding by tubes of honey only? I keep karo syrup for low-blood sugar, not for FOOD!
You're right though - why bother getting into it with someone eh?
