And I Thought I Was Tiny!

When I came to live with Linda, I was 1.5 pounds.  I was so tiny that I could sit in her cupped hand.  Compared to this little puppy up for adoption, I was a Great Dane!  The puppy is the size of a business card.  When she was born, she could fit in a spoon.  Her Mommy, a Dachshund mix, was picked up by animal control while she was pregnant.  The pup was the last delivered and was stillborn with no heartbeat.  The vet performed chest compressions and mouth to mouth breathing and the puppy came to life!  I hope she finds a good home and not with some freak show person who just wants to show her off or make money off her. 
A cookie for a pillow? Chim would have ate that up in a second.
