No flooding yet (knock on formica desk)!!! I hear you are getting a ton of rain! Of course, when it rains here in the desert, it's kind of exciting - everyone is all talking about it and excited that it's "grey" outside, lol!

I love those shelves - we use the white coated-wire ones (like this, but long and deep), so they can still see through them, but the wires are maybe an inch apart - so they work great.

Rain sounds so much better than the mess we have here.. good old New England... Slushie Hail, Snow, Rain!! Phfftt Yucky.

I really like this idea... I am going to go to Home Depot this weekend and look around. It will be perfect for us as we have a small apartment but a very big living room that extends into our dinning room area.... cornering off a place for our little Miss will work out great.

Thanks for all the advice!

I know somewhere there is a table to reference the weight of your Yorkie to see how big he or she may be full grown.. I just can't find it.

Any help out there? My new baby was seen by the vet yesterday (she is still with the breeder until the 24th) and she weighed in at 1lb 4oz at 8 weeks old. (she was born October 19th).

Any idea what she could possibly weigh full grown?

Thanks!! Jillian

My baby was 1.6 when I got her at 10 weeks. I have been keeping close track of her weight each week. She is now 18 weeks old and weighs 2 pounds. According to the weight chart others have shown you how to find by now (no doubt!), my baby should be about 3 pounds full grown. Our pups sound like they will be the same size.

[Jilliebeanz96]

What did you use to weigh her each week... I want to buy a scale to see how she does. Her mom and dad are both small, but the sister and brother of the litter seem to be double her. I am hoping she grows to 4lbs, but either way she will be out little love bug.

It just seems so scary that she is so small... and Alfie will tower over her.

I myself, would get a baby scale, I think they're the most accurate

when my babies were younger, i bought a postal scale (it weighs in pounds and ounces, so it will read Xlb Yoz) .... it came in handy! i wanted to make sure they were gaining weight on a weekly basis....i bought mine on ebay and it weighs up to 35 lbs...i think it was around $20

[Jilliebeanz96]

LOL... good thing I work at the Post Office... (not where they sell stamps though)... I will have to take a trip and see if they have them for sale in the lobby.

Thank you both for the advise, I will have to switch her food over slowly as well to match what Alfie eats and I am guessing this may cause some gaining issues. (I may not start the switch for a few weeks though to keep her eating steady until she is a little bigger).

LOL i have thought about sneaking my kids into the PO and weighing them on the do-it-yourself postage machine to make sure mine at home was calibrated correctly! i bet you can get a good deal if you are an employee

[Jilliebeanz96]

The Goverment has no employee incentive... LOL

But using that APC machine is a good idea... ahahahaa

I got Duke at 7 weeks (now knowing better that was too young) and 1.6lb. He is now 14months and at around 5.5lb-6lbs. That's the size of his parents as well; although I heard the liter runt is now almost 10lbs so maybe the owner over feed him.

[Jilliebeanz96]

10lbs?? That's like my Alfie he is a big 9lbs and still growing and he was the smallest... not sure what we did>>LOL

I am getting more excited every day that the 24th gets closer... its a really big deal for me to be bringing our little Evie home finally. I actually contact the breeder and purchased first pick of the litter befor they were even conceived... LOL

I live about half a mile away from her vet. They happily weigh her whenever I ask because they love to hold her!!
