Ok, I went to see Ceazar last Sunday and he was 8 weeks old then. The breeder said he she felt he was ready to go, that he'd been completely weaned and was eating dry food and drinking water and was eating really well- in fact he had gained 4 whole ounces in just one week. So I took him home at 8 weeks, knowing most yorkie owners have to wait till 12 weeks, but since I'm an experienced yorkie owner and live so close to the breeder that if anything went wrong I could bring him right back. I got him home and I was shocked. The experience was much different then when I brought Scooter home when he was nearly 15 weeks old. (three years ago a freak mutated 3 month long version of kennel cough swept the nation and Scooter was one of the unfortunate ones to get it but didn't show symptoms till I got him home)... so I went through three months of absolute scary stressful hell as a first time yorkie owner- this experience has been soooo different. Ceazar is a tiny little ball of healthy energy. I've never seen such a small animal before (having never really been with a yorkie so young), and its almost comical to see him eating hard food and drinking water so well when he is sooo small! I have had him nearly a week now, and this puppy did not have one single ounce of separation anxiety, or any problems whatsoever. He hit the ground running and I laughed so hard I had tears streaming down my face when I set him down with Scooter to play with him- here was this tiny little 1 lb 5 oz puppy about the size of a furry softball, chasing around my 3.5 lb yorkie like he owned him. His bark sounds like a tiny little dwarfed chirp and his growls sound like purring. Scooter was scared of him at first. (Scooter is not a macho boy). And I never once forced the two of them together. Ceazar has his own little play area and sleeps alone at night and have the boys together several times a day everyday. Just within the past couple of days Scooter has really started warming to Ceazar. They have started playing together and Scooter is so gentle with him. Ceazar can walk right under Scooter and does it all the time, and he grabs a hold of scooter's long hair with his tiny little teeth and wont let go and scooter runs around with this tiny little barnacle hanging off him- it's hilarious. The puppy is already doing great with the pad training, I praise him several times a day when he goes on his pad and he finds his own way to it no problem now. (Scooter is outdoor trained and has been since the summer after I got him when it was warm enough to bring him out doors) Right now it is much much too cold out for Ceazar to be trained outside and he is too small for any such harnesses and leashes. Anyway, I'm very pleased with Ceazar and how my plans for Scooter and Ceazar to be buddies are going great. I look at them when they play and wonder how Scooter ever managed without him, he's been so bored and inactive with no one to play with since I got rid of the cat. My only concern is that Ceazar will grow to be much bigger than Scooter as he is already almost 1.5 lbs at 9 weeks; and Scooter is just barely 3.5 lbs, Scooter is 3.5 years old. Well, here are some pictures I took of my little Ceazar the other day. I believe I am going to have to tape his right ear as it has flopped and only one ear is up and it's been this way all week. I have to get to the store and get a beard trimmer to keep his little rear end shaved and to shave his little ears to keep the extra weight off.

Hi little Ceazar, what a babe! Scooter sounds like such a good big brother to the little guy, they'll be best friends for life.
