What cuties! I love the 2nd and 3rd pics, you can see the curious look on her face and then the paw dipped in the bowl.

Do you still have both of them?
I do still have both of them. Thumbelina is my little miracle girl. When I got her she was very tiny, and couldn't hold food down at all. I took her to the vets to have her checked over and the vet diagnosed her as having a 4/5 grade heart murmer, mega-esophagus, and I already knew about her leggies. She had to be syringe fed for the first few months I had her and then held upright until the food made it to her tummy. Things improved after a while and she can now eat wet food as long as it's not chunky at all. She knows not to touch the dry food little smartie! Kirby I got from a shelter where he was going to be euthanised due to his leg deformity. My vet who was also the vet for the shelter put in a good word for me, declared Kirby healthy and I took him home despite the objections of some of the workers there. Both are so sweet and doing very well despite their handicaps.
