| Maya's HUGE! Oh my goodness! We went to the vet today for her 15 week check-up (it's actually been 16 cuz we were in WI for 10 days). I knew she had gotten bigger, but to my surprise she weighed in at 5.7 lbs!! WHOA BABY! She may be a few ounces lighter, but she wouldn't sit still and that's what the scale decided. WOW! That means that in the last month she has gained 1.5lbs! She has been eating regularly (2-3x a day), but not a lot of food. She'll usually eat around a cup a day. I couldn't believe it! My baby is going to be HUGE! I'll love her even if she doesn't fit inside the 7lb Yorkie box! Pics are forthcoming!

| Wow! I saw Maya when I went to pick up her sister, Lily. She looked so tiny, and I didn't think she would be that big lol. I wonder how big the other siblings are. I think YT members got them too, if I'm not mistaken. Can't wait to see pictures!

I have Skyla (Stormie)! She is big, too. I have to get her in for her rabies vaccine but it wouldn't surprise me if she was 6 lbs or over. I can't remember now at her last visit, she was 5. 3 or something like that. I think that is SO big for her age. Looks like Maya is trying to keep up! She does not chew her food, she inhales and it's gone. Such a piglet. I would love to see some new pics of Maya!!! | |

| No, I don't. She was born with Hydrocephalus and passed away only 10 days after I got her. She did so well at first, but then she started to have seizures, and they were just too much for her. She was my little sweetie.

| Omega, I couldn't believe that Skyla was 5.3lbs at her last check up! I wonder how big she'll be now!! It's been a month! I don't remember how big the parents were, but if the charts are right, Maya should be above 8lbs by the time she's done. So much for AKC standards, right?! Oh well! She's my BABY! I don't know where the other litter-mates are. You're the only one that I've had any contact with. Too bad the sisters couldn't meet when I was up in MN!

| LovemyJake I'm SO sorry!!! How devistating! Poor baby, better that she rest in peace than suffer. I saw the RIP Lily, but your signature still has Lily's name in it, so I didn't know if there were 2 Lily's or not. Maya and I send you hugs and kisses... I wish I had known sooner! We would have sent a card!

| Yay puppy kisses! Those are Maya's favorites! She's been a little lazy since the vet, and we took her to the mall and to Lowe's in her handy-dandy bag so she wouldn't be alone. We just fixed the balcony with some chicken wire so we don't have to worry so much when she's on the balcony. She's never tried to jump, in fact she scares herself a bit when she pops her head to the other side of the bars, but I have had numerous nightmares of letting her out and coming back to look off the balcony and see my precious laying three stories below. Uhh... it makes me cry just thinking about it! But now no worries because she's all safe! She was investigating the whole situation and biting the zip ties, but she looked comfortable. Mommy can rest assured that her bestest baby is safe now!
