If you have a chance.. Start taking pictures once a week, and watch him grow.. Try weighing him once a week.. It's amazing how fast the weight goes up.. I had to do it because Socks was the runt of the litter, and the rest were double the size of him.. He made it to 17 lbs (thanks to my dad), and I'm happy to say he's steady at 15 lbs of muscle..

That puppy is adorable, I had all toy size dogs except for a large dog we rescued from neglect.

It hurts to much to say goodbye and my DIL is alergic and I had Silkie Terriers...not supposed to bother alergies but they made her sneeze, wheeze and have red eyes. Peach doesn't bother her so the cat will have to fill the void. He does!

We rescued our Pyr. from a shelter as a puppy and she is my shadow! She was underweight yet still the biggest 4 month old around. Now around 140 lbs at 17 months, she still wants to nap on my lap, not the floor. GH says he was not aware that butter CAME without fur in it , anyway. Congratulations on opening your heart again. Keep us updated as she grows!

I have a pry/retreiver mix - she looks just like your Quebie in the face, but has longer hair like a golden. She was a rescue at our local shelter, so I went ahead and adopted her at 6 months of age. Had 3 other dogs at the time - 2 labs and a golden retriever. Now I am down to 1 lab, golden and my pyr. She is a great watchdog - very sweet, except to strangers.
Love those big dogs!!!
