| Bit My Tongue! So today I set up a booth selling my clothes, collarsm and some homemade treats at a Fall Festival. It was in a small town (I have family in that town) but there was a big turnout. Anyway.. I had some intresting people tell me about their dogs, I thought I'd post it because I knew some of you would get a laugh from them all... here are some of the diffrent dogs I heard about. My favorite!!!... A "Tiny Teacup Yorkie" ... that weighed 5 pounds. Toy Chi Teacup "fill in breed here" Oh and a lady who had an 8 week old "Teacup Chi" that weighs 1.8 pounds and won't ever get above 2 pounds... I didn't know they made a pill to stunt a puppies growth! I tried explaining to this lady that the puppy will probably be like3 or 4 pounds and she said "No, He is a teacup, the store promised me he wouldnt be bigger than 2" Anyway, I bit my lip and didn't say anything, I knew people would get offended! AHHHH! Lol. |

| Some people are just after the smallest of small...status i guess?? Little do they realize the 'teacups' can be faced with a whole slew of health problems. Its AMAZING that people are so gulible to believe what someone tells them...how can she not believe that her 1.8 pound 8 week old pup wouldnt grow?? Some peoples children lol Dawn |

| I went to the Pet Fest in Old Town Spring, TX today & had some of the same situations. What always amazes me is how complete strangers will walk up & ask me how much I paid for my Yorkie. So many ask me if she is a teacup that I've gotten to where I will just say, "I think she is going to be small". I have tried "the standard for Yorkies is under 7 lbs" but people don't really want to hear that. |

Yes, lots and lots of laughs! And when my dad got there I had to tell him about it, he was laughing too! But money wise I didn't make thousands or anything, but I honestly thought I would sell like one thing and that be it because of the town I was in. It's a little country town with like the population of under 1,000. But my collars were a big hit, which is good, but it left me out of a lot of letters. | |

| "My favorite!!!... A "Tiny Teacup Yorkie" ... that weighed 5 pounds" Yea, that means I really do have what I always wanted - a 5.75 lb Tiny Teacup Yorkie! Yippie I was talking to a older gentleman today that said he had a Tiny Teacup Black Pom that looked like a BubbleButt. He was very sweet, he and his wife had adopted 4 rescues and she just turned 79. She was wearing a pendant that looked like scrimshaw with a yorkie on it. That's what started the conversation.
