What a sweetie, although he wouldn't ever make it at our house...he's get squished. Please keep them coming!!

Aw, Amy he is adorable!!!! What a cute name too... it fits him

Mugsy, I second that... he would BE a toy at our house! No offense Amy! He really is cute, I would love to have a small dog like that. How big will he get and how big is now?

[senoritaamy2001]

Well, right now Benny is about 2 1/2 lbs. But, full grown Pekingese grow to be around 8-10 lbs. I agree, he could be squished very eaisily, especially around bigger dogs. Plus, he thinks he's just as big as them and he's not afraid at all!
Me and my boyfriend already have a hard enough time watching out for our feet everytime we take a step! He just LOVES staying right around our feet.

Amy,

Same thing with us! Although Snowy is 10 lbs, he is still very small and my fiance and I have to watch our feet everytime we walk around!

Amy,

Does Benny sleep with you, or do you put him on a little bed?

Amy,

Does Benny sleep with you, or do you put him on a little bed?



Well, the first night we brought him home, we were very strict on making him stay his crate, but that night I don't think I got more than 20 minutes of sleep. Benny was up every hour, on the hour, just crying. I absolutley hated to hear him cry, but I knew it was best for him.
The next day he had gone to the doctor and we found out tha the was hypoglossimic (low bold sugar from not eating enough). So that night we wanted him to get a lot of rest, (and so did we!) so we let him sleep in his bed (right by ours). He loves it there. We put a little bell on his collar at night so we can know when he gets up, and we ussually take him outside.
Each night, he gets better and better about sleeping through the night. I did try sleeping with him our bed, but he's so small (3 lbs), I dont feel 100% safe with that idea. I could eaisily roll over on him or he could fall off the bed.
What about you?


***hey, I just finished my page for Benny, Check it out~!

At first I bought him a tiny bed, but he never slept on it once--only with me!

He goes on his bed now when he naps during the day, but at night he pops up on the side of the bed so I can pick him up and place him next to me. So basically, he sleeps with me every night.

Are you planning on giving Benny only puppy food, or do you sneak in some table food every now and then?

Well, when I was still living with my parents, I would give (my parents yorkie & westie) Opie & Richie, table scraps quite often, and it never hurt them. But my boyfriend is totally against it. Bassically because he doesn't want Benny to start begging every time we eat. I can undertand where he is coming from, and I know it's best for the puppy. So I plan to stick strickly to the puppy food and puppy treats. (Although, I don't think its horrible to give dogs small, little table scraps once in a while.)
What about you? What kind of dog do you have? Any pictures?

[Snowy's Mom]

That's really funny, because my fiance is completely against the table food idea also, but I can't help it...I like to spoil him, like he is my child--know what I mean? I just gave him a few tiny pieces of BBQ potato chips as a treat.....he loved them.

When I lived with my parents, before he and I moved in together, Snowy and Poo Poo (My mom's dog, the Peke mix)always ate table food, but we always put the IAMS down everyday for them anyway.

Snowy is a Terrier mix (a bit of Australian, Jack Russel and Norwich)--I don't have a scanner, or else I would post his picture.

Did you get Benny from a breeder? Did you get your other puppy yet?

That sure is funny that your fiance doesn't like the idea of table scraps either! I know exactly what you mean about wanting to "accidently" drop a piece of table food on the ground. Sometimes it hard to resist those cute little eyes!
Yes, we got Benny from a breeder in our area. I found her ad in the newspaper. We (me & keith) drove out to her house, and I made sure Benny was in a healthy environment. I also wanted to see his parents so I would have an idea of how big he would get. She was an excellent breeder!
No, I won't get my new Maltese puppy, until April 21. I CAN"T WAIT!!! I'm getting him from a breeder also. I found her ad in the paper just like the other one, only this breeder live almost 3 hours away! I haven't seen my Maltese puppy, only spoke over the phone with the breeder and mailed a deposit. He will be exactly 6 weeks old when I get him. Benny was the same age too. (There's a months difference between the puppies) I've heard that you should get a puppy no earlier than 8 weeks old, but Benny was fine.
Where did you get yours from and how old? I think Austrailian Terriers are sooo cute. About how big will yours get?
