My vet tells me that I am NOT fat, and I am in tip-top shape, due to my rigorous exercise regime of soccer and chasing birds that have the nerve to land in MY yard. My momma is constantly telling me how beautiful I am, and I suspect I am just a big-boned girl (like momma!).

Thank you for considering my application.

I don't know. 7.25 is still on the slim side. She's one overtime soccer game away from 7.0 and the boring "standard" status. How do we know she is special enough to be a teapot? Can you post pictures and maybe another soccer vid?

Tell you what. Consider her a member of the club, but a provisional one. Weigh her after the soccer season and post more pictures and videos. If she still passes muster, we will welcome her with the two open arms it takes to hold a true teapot Yorkie.

And, yes, this has been a longwinded trick to get you to post more pictures now and in the future.
