here are some pics of my little puddin...

pic 1. 11 weeks...her first night with us 2.6 lbs
pic 2. 6 months....4.5 lbs
pic 3. last week...10 months...5.5 lbs????
pic 4. 9 months old and soaking wet....5 lbs without the water lol


really...she is quite tiny. her hair is most of her "size" lol she has very fluffy face hair LOL

I also wanted to add...I am not a believer in God BUT I am a HUGE beleiver in everything happens for a reason...I think this puppy came to you for a reason:)..he will repay you in ways you dont even know yet for saving him from that place!!

If I had suspected this to be a puppy mill, I would have refused to buy the dog, and then I would have reported him.

A 6-7 pound dog is still a VERY small dog. There is no way to guarantee the size of a dog, but the chart here is pretty accurate. I have a small male, 4.4 lbs. and believe me, I wouldn't mind one bit if he was bigger. He's very healthy and very sturdy, but it's so hard when they're so tiny. Your little guy is a real cutie! Enjoy him, no matter what size he gets to be!

Awwww I want to kiss her!! She is such a darling...LOVE all the pics...look at her little baby pics hehe..cute!!

thanks :) she is a sweetie pie!! I can't wait for her face hair to grow out...she will be so incredibly pretty with a full coat!!

That IS funny!! You know Punkie I try to not ge involved in threads that pull at me emotionally bc it makes me sad and works me up emotionally. For some reason I got involved in this one. I think that is a sign! I think you need to have faith that your choice and your little guy is going to be exactly what you want in a dog! So give him his name! I truely feel that this little guy is going to be the best dog you could ever wish to have! And he is sooo beautiful. Like my Stuart (the one that died)! Here is a pic of my Dex. First pic hes on the right! The other one is my fletcher, they are brothers, same liter!

From talking to everyone on here, I'm starting to realize that even if I had gotten a really teeny puppy, there's no way to know how big he would be. I'm thinking now that I'd probably like to keep him. I kind of feel like I don't really trust anyone to give him a better home and I don't want him to end up in a bad situation. At least I can be sure I would not let anything bad happen to him.
I'm still really bitter about my experience with the breeder and will report him for sure.
He is a smart puppy and he's really gotten used to us. He's far from the shy puppy he was when we first got him. He's really confident and outgoing now and I can tell that he feels safe around us.
He was also crying all the time when he first came here. We got no sleep for the first 5-6 nights. He freaked out every time we left him alone or put him in his crate or his play pen and we basically didn't have a quiet moment. Now he never cries or whines and he's fine when we put him in his play area with his puppy gate. I really don't want to go through that noise and ruckus again with a new puppy, LOL. Plus I worry about him having to get used to a new home and new people and being sad that we're not around since he knows us now.
He's doing really great with pee pad training too. I just wish he would stop pulling and chewing on my hair, LOL.

LOVE Dexter and Fletcher...handsome brothers indeed!!

Dawn

LOL, you are so sweet :) Thank you for the support and kind words :)

Yay...that is the best news I have heard allllllllllllllllllllllllllll day!! I KNOW you will love him and love YT and we are glad to have you on board...I cant wait to watch "insert name here" grow up!!

Dawn

I'm so glad to hear this. I really think he will be a great puppy for you. and you are right...there is NO telling what you will get in his place...even if the pup you get is healthy, what if it gets big? and then...what if it is so small that it can't be spayed...etc.

anyway...i think that keeping him will really be a good idea. if you know you can give him a great home...then both of you deserve to be happy and i KNOW he will make you happy!!

so love him, hug him, take lots of pictures of him...and NAME him :)

I am glad you are changing your mind. I dont think you will regret it

Awww, she is the cutest little scruffy thing :)

Thank you!!! They could not be more different from each other in looks and personality! But I swear they are from the SAME liter, they have been together since birth! HAHA :D

That's a really sweet thought. He definitely has been a joy to have around. Since he stopped screaming into the night that is, LOL.

thanks!!

I am off to dinner...but I'll be back ;)

Why is she in a cast? Is she OK?

Yay!!!!!!:D So is he Dexter?

That's great!!! :)

she jumped from my daughters arms (6 year old daughter...not very tall ;) )

it broke both of the bones in her leg :(

and yes, she is ok :) she is learning to get around quite well in the cast :)

Your little ones are so beautiful :)
I was made to do a lot of thinking today by reading all of the posts on this thread today and some people (like yourself) were so sweet and encouraging. The more I think about it, the more I want to make sure that he is going to be OK, so I'm going to keep him I think. If he gets to be 20 lbs and I can't carry him anymore, I guess I'll just have to get a stroller and push his big butt around town, LOL.

ROFL

now you're talkin :)

LOL, you're funny Dawn. My boyfriend I will try to decide on a name tonight. He never likes the ones I pick :)
I hate the breeder my puppy came from and I'm so mad at him for doing what he does to people, but I guess something good will come out of it after all :)

Punkie, that is wonderful! I couldn't be happier for you and for ??? (his name now please??? hehe) I honestly feel that this is going to be GREAT for you and for him! With that little face..... oh man I just love all these dogs, but I have a TEENNYYY bit weak spot for the little boys!

Now ... If this is for your first YORKIE, you have a LOT of learning ahead of you! You may have been able to handle a 170lb Dane (beautiful by the way!!) but he had NOTHING on a YORKIE! HAHAHA

PS - ebay has good deals on strollers!! Just a little fyi! :) :D :D

You bet!! Something good will come out of it for sure...hopefully this guy can be reported and stopped...but at least you will do your part by trying to stop him..I cannot wait to hear what name you two finally agree on...its fun trying to come up with a name...there are lots of old posts too with name suggestions or you can start your own post asking for name suggestions...we are always eager to help in that department!!

Dawn

Thank you for the support and all the help :) I do appreciate it. I know that he will make us happy. He's already been a hoot to have around.

Now my boyfriend and I will have to decide on a name for him :)

Maybe it's better if he is bigger since my boyfriend wants to get a big dog as well. His heart is kind of set on a St. Bernard. Although we would still have to be very careful, I would worry a lot about a really teeny Yorkie with a big puppy running around.

I love that name, but my boyfriend doesn't :( I will have to bribe him perhaps with some brownies or something, LOL.

I had a different bribe in mind...but oh ya I must get this dirty mind outa the gutter...wrong forum LOL...
