Congrats on your new baby! I love the name Lola!

Congratulations on your new baby. I feed mine wet food, but I'm going to try to start adding a little dry food everyday to see if she'll eat it. She is awful picky too.

Thank you for the warm welcomes everyone!
I am weaning her from the wet to the dry almost completely. I found if I sit on the floor with her she eats the dry kibble. She feels so much more secure if I am close to her rather than a few feet away. I did notice that she was sniffing the food bowl while I was sitting down a few feet away so I think pretty soon she will feel confident in her new home.

Im STILL unsure of a name. I was soooo sure I would name her Stella or Lola. But Im not sure if either fit her. I will get a pic of her up very soon. And she will have a name too.

Congratulations on all the new puppies! Thank you for all the help too.

Susan, congratulations on your new baby!!!! I am a total bad mommy (and breeder)..all 7 of mine still get their daily rations put in a plastic bag and about 1/4- 1/3 of a can of puppy food mooshed in with it. There is no way I could ever with a clear conscience suggest you do anything other than what you are doing. I really believe we can get hung-up on the "right" thing to do and forget that these babies are individuals as much as humans.
Later, you might gradually change the food prep, but for now, keep that babies's tummy happy..

Congratulations!!!! and welcome to the club where your money and time is gone due to the overwhelming love and dedication to your FURBABY!!!! Don't we all suffer from this. I personnally do not mind spending my money on outfits for Meeko and Molly versus buying myself something. Anyways, I hope you and your Furbaby adjust nicely and have fun along the way.

CONGRATULATIONS !!! To add to the many good posts and advise....
The tiny bites are great for yorkies - I used to mix a little gerber baby food in Chanels DRY food when she was that small and also a tiny bit of cottage cheese...

Also - Keep some Nutracal on hand for a "Just in Case" and watch her for low blood sugar - the signs of that are lethargy and shaking...you'll find LOTS of reading here about that -

I'm a newbie, too, and so enamoured with my little guy I can't see straight where he is concerned!! I have 3 other dogs, and I love them all dearly, but there something about this breed! My husband keeps telling me it's a cult! lol

As for a name, I might suggest babynames.com

You can search by meaning, personality, nationality... All kinds of things. I find that it takes me a while until I find one that fits, too!

Congratulations, and keep us posted!!
