Thank you for the advice Peggy. Your girls are so cute. I'm still having trouble posting pics from my iPad. Lolita is doing well. I do feel rather guilty that I have not taken her for blood tests. After reading your post I can see why it is so important to do so. I'm glad I joined this group I am learning a lot about these adorable little dogs. She has had her first shots and a dewormer. I will take her in for the test you recommended. thank you again.
