I say if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...it's a duck!

If it doesn't make sense it's not true. I don't believe that is a 4 month old puppy. I have seen a thousand pups here on yt alone...that is no 4 month old dog.

Your puppy is a cutie! (Not a big fan of sweet potatoes!)

Sorry...had a business meeting!
Gosh~~some people are so cynical~~iI would know my own puppy's age...don't you think?

Well this is how the story goes...
It's 10% tiny puppy 90% GIGANTIC sweet potato!

Apollo wasn't miniscule but a bit smaller than the average yorkie~~the vet kept saying, "He's really healthy but small." He's not a teacup but the picture sure does make him look like one!

Now the sweet potato~~ I was actually present when the grower harvested the sweet potato.
When I first saw the sweet potato, my mind didn't register it~~I was in shock or something. That thing seriously scared me. I love sweet potatoes so I eat them on a weekly basis. The ones I've encountered are roughly the size of a man's hand. To make a long story short...I guess this sweet potato hogged all the nutrients because the ones that grew next to it looked like ping pong balls!

So yeah~~ that sweet potato was (past tense because we ate it for Christmas) the size of a four-month old yorkie! It probably weighed three times puppy!

Sorry the explanation is so jumbled! I'm in a hurry and typing on my iPhone!

But yeah!!!! I still have nightmares about that darn sweet potato!

does not look like a 4 month old

I do believe that is a large sweet potato but the yorkie...4months old?? Sure is a cutie though

[Bitsy]

I think the huge sweet potato causes almost an optical illusion....makes the puppy seem a lot smaller/younger. Great pic!

Am I missing something here? I know the puppy might be smaller than the average yorkie (I'm currently living in another country and the average adult yorkie here is between four and five pounds) but jeeze~~ to insinuate that my claim is untrue?? I thought we come here to share stories, experiences, pictures, and gather information~~
Well, thank you to those who are actually open-minded enough to accept the truth! I really appreciate it!

Don't let it bother ya! To each his own, right? Also, sometimes tone is hard to read.

Your pup looks very cute! You'll have to share some more pics...we all love seeing these cutie pies!

Thank you!! I think he will be the lighter type...the more silvery blue! I am doing the best I can to maintain that silky texture~~

To me, the optical illusion is the best part and really thought people would "get it".
By the way, we're still trying to finish that sweet potato. I might hate sweet potatoes after this.

I agree, the optical illusion is great! Look at it this way....the illusion was SO GOOD it convinced people it was a fake!

Can't yelp ya on the sweet potato part...I prefer my taters unsweetened!

There is no such thing as teacups unless you are referring to the things you drink tea out of
