So I doubt I’ll stick with a 52 week thread but I thought I would update on Thumbelina a bit. She is doing really good. We have gotten into a routine. It was a little stressful at first because I was having a hard time getting her to eat and we lost like an ounce which is a lot when you only weigh a pound. She’s doing good though and is a pampered princess. She won’t eat out of a bowl and only out of hands. We figured out that free feeding didn’t work and that three feeds a day didn’t work either. She eats breakfast at 8:00 most mornings and 6 or 7 most evenings. She won’t take more food we’ve tried. She also likes her food fresh so I wet about 1/4 cup every other day and keep it refrigerated. She also likes it damp but not drenched lol 😆. And she does not want it dry. I’ve never had such a picky puppy. She wants to steal food from the other dogs but so far they have made her stools loose. So I’m not gonna switch her to a better quality food until she is bigger. Thankfully we have had no hypoglycemic incidents and we are finally up to 1lb3.3oz since Friday. The vet said she is perfectly fine just really petite. We have kept in close contact with breeder. Because I have been more worried about her. I’ve never had a puppy so small. She is pad trained now. She got her third round of shots this past Friday, and she only needs one more shot. I’m hoping to start outdoor potty training in about two weeks when she will be sixteen weeks. She is a snuggly cuddly little doll. She loves to play and has the tiniest bark which she only uses during play. I will share some pictures in a minute.
