Runtly the wonder puppy!!!
Just wanted to brag about my little girl!
This is the newest addition to our family, Runtly!
Isn’t she great?????
If you haven’t met the other dogs, here is a post about Benjamin as well!
I guess I’ll update this to give you a little history of Runtly. She was born UNBELIEVABLY tiny, and as the runt of a litter of teacup chihuahuas we were seriously worried she wouldn’t make it. She grew on us really quickly. She was the first to walk, the first to open her eyes, the first one to eat solid food and the first one to bark. As people started claiming the other 4 dogs in the litter we just couldn’t let her go so we decided she would just have to be another addition to our family! The photo above was taken today and she weighs just under a pound! She didn’t even register on the scale the first time we took her to the vet and she has grown to, literally, about ten times her original size!!!!!

Oh…that is so cute!!!
What a little peanut!
aww she is so pretty
so cute
I think that’s the tiniest dog I’ve ever seen
To think that she was even smaller than that. She’s such a little fighter with a huge personality.
@oledphatnuglee - she’s growing so much right now! I can’t believe she’s as big as she is! she was the tiniest dog I’d ever seen as well and for a while we didn’t think she’d make it. she’s doing great now!
I’m in love-we have 5 dogs but only one who is under 20lbs. the others are all 50lbs
so cute!
She is cute.
Welcome back.
@TheTheologiansCafe - Thanks Dan, I’ll be seeing you around here a little bit more. Gotta start fresh and build again… I still remember what you taught me.
Cool. Most of that stuff doesn’t work now.
There is new stuff.

The dog is adorable. LOL at the last comments I read here. Dan is your Sensei?

@justfinethanku - I suppose one could have worse teachers.

She is adorable!
awwww, she’s so little. Is that because she’s a puppy or because she will stay little?

Adorable little dog!
She’s so cute!! I love Chihuahuas, and want a “teacup” Chi one of these days! I have a couple small Chihuahuas now, but they wouldn’t be considered teacup Chi’s.
Awesome post. Just awesome.
Wow what a little cutey! She’s not much bigger than my teddy bear hamster! What a precious and precocious little buddle.
She is great! What a cute little dog! =)
