We knew it would happen eventually. Akio and Amai finally gave in and snuggled together at bed time. It was especially cute because she curled up in his tail.
On our way out west, I decided I wanted a little dog. I started looking for various breeds. I thought I wanted a teacup Maltese but as I looked, I couldn’t find a breeder where I could pick the dog up. Finally I found a teacup Yorkie breeder about 15 minutes from where we were staying in Utah. We went and picked up our new puppy on Thursday, August 24. She was about 2 lbs. and will be about 3.5 lbs to 4 lbs when fully grown. Her mother was 6 lbs and her father was 3 lbs. She had a sister which was about the same size as she is and two brother which were both bigger than she is.
So, we welcome Amai (pronounced a my ee) which means “sweet” in Japanese. She is spunky and loves to play with her big brother, Akio. She loves to run in the grass. She love Honey Nut Cheerios and to steal Akio’s food and run away with it. She went to the vet on September 15 and weighed 2.2 lbs. We have taken her to the groomer twice – once for a hair cut and once for a bath. She loves to play with the bell that we hung in her playpen.
