Amie, your babies are adorable! So glad to see a photo. Joy B ----- Original Message ----- From: Amie McCaig To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2008 12:32 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Teacup Size
Jesslan, If you are happy with how she looks, and she is healthy and eating I wouldn't worry. My three are very different, Twinkie is heavier but on a diet, Cupcake is the perfect 5Lbs and Buttercup is 4 1/2. All have very different activities levels, and eating habits. Buttercup loves to play and almost has little down time, and is not food motivated. the other two, are a little more relaxed (nice way to say lazier) and love to eat. When my friend & breeder saw them, she thought they all could slim down, I took her advise, but I still only have Twinkie on the diet. A heavy dog could have a shorter life. So I try to keep the weight managed. Amie ps attched is a photo. --- On Fri, 9/26/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Teacup Size > To: [email protected] > Date: Friday, September 26, 2008, 11:55 PM > Thank you Amie.
