OMG - Fifteen Weeks 1/2 pound!! Yep, not a typo. I have NEVER had a baby this small. It has been an ordeal keeping her going, but so far, so good ..... all things considered. We call her Tee-Tee. |

I pray that all will be well with her. Does she have any litter mates? |
Good luck, hope she does ok. That is just scary to someone like me with absolutely no experience in breeding or raising lil ones. |

All the others are small ...... charting to be 3 1/2 to 4 pounds. Tee-tee looks soooo small in comparison. Mom is 7 1/2 pounds and Dad is 4 pounds. She's been a real challenge. I haven't had a full stretch of sleep in 2 months. She is beautiful, though; just minature. |

Would love to see a pic of this itsy-bitsy baby!!!! |

:D I only have a phone now and don't see how to post a pic from it. Maybe my son can help me with that. I'd love to 'show her off'. I'll see what I can do tomorrow. |
I'm so curious. What was her birth weight? Did she nurse or did you tube or bottle feed? Do the Mom and siblings accept her as a normal part of the pack or are you raising her separately? I'd sure like to see her, and most of all I just hope she continues to do well. |
Jim -- it's SO great to see you here - you are missed by so many! I can't believe how tiny this wee one is! How scary it must've been at first with her, I imagine....keeping her safe, warm, fed. But, she is in excellent hands with you, so I've no doubt she will thrive. Yes, we must see a piccie! Do you think you will keep her? Bc how difficult to find a home that you trust with one this small, ya know? |
That's amazing! I would love to see a picture of her next to something that will show her size. I bet she fits in the palm of your hand. |
I hope your little one continues to thrive under your care. It's wonderful to see you back. Your advocacy for animals and your willingness to lend a hand is always inspiring and heartwarming. |

We pulled her from the litter at that time. I now have only 1 sister left and she and Tee are bunkmates. They do well together, even though her sister is much bigger (almost 2 pounds). |

I REALLY don't need another dog and would love to find a suitable home for Tee. That, at the moment, is out of the question, however. She IS making progress, though. Today I had her out trying to get some pics and she started chasing Gracie(one of our cats) around the yard. I've never seen that gear in her before! Also, instead of around-the-clock feedings, I only have had to feed her at 6am, 10pm, 2am. She eats enough to get herself through the day now. It's been that way for almost a week. It's small progress, but I'll take it. Plus, she's just seeming to have a higher energy level. I'm hoping this keeps up. |

I couldn't get them to post from my phone, but will be going to my brother's house tomorrow and get them posted from his computer. |

Actually, I've been scared to post about her up to now. I really didn't want to get on an emotional roller coaster online. That I'm doing so know should tell you that I'm cautiously optimistic. Thank you for the kind thoughts. |
Wow she is itty bitty. Im glad shes turning the corner and hope she continues to do well |
Im wanting to but a bracelet for MY Mil but Im kinda confused about how this works do you buy the case and the glass face separate or do they come together |
Sell her to Paris Hilton for $10,000. (Yes, I am being sarcastic). I think you should keep the little one to avoid anyone trying to breed her/him. Sounds very sweet and special. Good luck. |
I have kept my tinies....I do not think there are that many people that are completely comfortable with or knowledgable about all the very special requirements for those tinies. One minor oversight can easily cost a life. When they are that small, there are seldom "second chances" to get it right! |

Keep us posted. I always enjoy seeing your posts, you have a lot of good knowledge to share. We miss you around here.... Don't stay away, ok? |

She did crash on me once. It took 13 hours to bring her around! She couldn't swallow, was barely in the world. I pulled her through by what would be described as an 'oral drip' method. I NEVER want to go through that again!! She is doing MUCH better the last few days. She fed herself throughout the day yesterday. I hand fed her around 2am just for insurance. Today has been the same. Also, her energy level is up. She's running, playing and actually being a little aggressive with her much bigger sister. |
Quote:
My focus has simply been on keeping her alive. With that being achieved, and her vitality level going up, I'm not so scared for her anymore. Now it's time to consider getting her checked out. I really didn't think we would reach this point with her, but surprise ..... surprise! |
Sending lots of prayers for lil Tee Tee that she may continue to thrive. You have certainly had your hands full and I hope it is easier from here on out. |

You should see her with her sister. Sis is just 2 pounds, but dwarfs her. |

All I want for Christmas is a good night's sleep!! :D |

She is adorable. Will pray she keeps eating on her own. |
