but please don't think you are in total clear water yet. You have many, many, many more months of change to go through. I hope he remains healthy and wish you the best.

all i can say is that i wish there were tests that people have to pass in order to become a dog owner.

this OP shows that DEFINITELY not everyone should be dog owners.

I got Charlie at 12 weeks. I got him before I knew ANYTHING about puppies and Yorkies in particular. After I found this site, I realized I took a huge chance my getting a puppy from someone not reputable. (Of course, at the time, I had no idea.) Someone had told us a "breeder" had a puppy and we could have him for free because "due to the economy, she couldn't sell him."

I knew nothing about breeding for the betterment of the breed, of health issues, shots, none of it. We have been soo lucky. Charlie is the perfect fit for us. (Though he's a lot bigger than we were told he'd be.) We have no idea who the parents are. No health information. If I were to do this again (and I probably will because I want him to have a friend and playmate, I would make sure I knew where the puppy was coming from.

I'm really glad things have worked out for you. Maybe this is how it was supposed to work out for you; I think some things are meant to be. But I do hope you realize that this isn't the way it usually works out. The reason people let you know these things is because they have experience with it. It's why I (and probably you) came to this site, right? To learn about what we don't know.

Oh, and I had a period of bragging about how Charlie was not a "barker." Oh, nice and quiet. Ha! He found his voice. And, thankfully, he's not a bad barker; it's not constant or anything, but man, can he bark. If someone's coming into my room, I know it before they're even on the first step. (He's 5 months old now. (And we're still working on the potty training.)

We've had lots of people lose there dogs due to illness, because they were simply too young to be exposed to certain things. People tell you not to drink and drive, and some people will say that they drink and drive all the time, and never had any problems, does this mean it's safe? No, of course not, they have been really lucky, and that's true of you too. I hope you don't advise people on buying or flying a pup this young, just because it worked out ok with you. If you read enough threads, you will learn it hasn't worked out so well for many others. By the way, Joey didn't start barking until after 6 months, so just because he's not barking now, it doesn't mean that he won't ever have a barking problem. I would never buy a dog this young, it's not that I doubt my own capabilities; it because I think you should do everything you can to ensure that the dog has the best chances of success. I was really relieved when your baby made the flight ok, I can't tell you how worried I was, I think you should consider yourself very lucky indeed.

took the words right out of my keyboard after i read the OP. I am also wondering how old the OP is.
