My puppy is 13.5 weeks and weighs 2.5lbs, but he isn't delicate at all. He thinks he's a cat, which is hilarious. He'll climb up into my shoulder and try to sleep wrapped around my neck, like a kitten. He tries to run around on the top of the couch like a kitten, too. He loves string and even gets down, waits, and POUNCES just like a cat! He's a trip. He jumped off the bottom bunk onto the hardwood floor @ 9 weeks and started crying and whining andI thought he must have broken his leg. Well, the little butthead had just chipped a nail! Scared me to death! He is such a baby. He CRIED and CRIED when I gave him a bath. Then he'll go around thinking he's 50lbs and growls and barks at the bigger dogs, trying to get himself killed.
His parents were 3lbs and 3.5lbs and they weren't fragile either... He lives in my room with me, so no one has the chance to step on him or kick him or slam doors on him.
So far he seems healthy... he loves food, loves to play... get into trouble. Normal puppy behavior. His parents had the BEST dispostions of any dogs I've ever met; so happy and nice and gave lots of kisses. I wanted a puppy that could be used to visit Nursing homes and the like, and my other two dogs are kind of snappy toward some strangers. |
