Update: 9/24/07 This is Tiny Tadpole, as you can see she is still attracting grass, like a dust magnet.
Tiny Tadpole is the daughter of Roxy and Thumper. She is a tiny very healthy and active little black girl. She loves to sleep right up next to you at night to keep you and her warm. Gorgeous coat.
We apologize to all of you who have been keeping up with Tiny Tadpoles progress. We've accidently deleted some of this page and do not remember all that was written here. We are adding the photos back to this place and hope you keep on checking on the little black girl. We know this isn't all the photos we had but we will have to find them in order to reload them, so please bare with us. Thank you, Clara Hodges
Update: 4/7/07 Good news, We decided on our girls name today, We've named her Hodges Tiny Tadpole of a Pom, since she is so tiny. She is 10-1/2 weeks old now and weighs .67 lb. Had her seen at the vet today to see if there was any reason for this weeks episodes, she checked out healthy. No worms, coccidea or anything. Instead of changeing her to canned puppy food we are now trying 4 bowls, 1 with cereal baby meats mixture( we know she will eat) water, canned puppy food (mashed) and dry Purina one. She has nibbled a little on the canned food this morning and plays with dry piece but she is still eating her rice cereal with baby meats. Vet also said to give her nutrical a couple times a day to make sure she is getting balanced diet, since she isn't eating right yet. Vet also gave her her first distemper/parvo shot today (only 1/2 shot) and she will get another in 3 weeks.
Update 4/23/07 Tiny has become a dust magnet anytime she goes out in the yard to play. She seems to collect pieces of grass and paper as you can see in this photo. She is eating dry food now and some canned food. She is completely off the baby cereal and baby meats. She is also piddle pad training herself. As you can see in her photo taken today she is thinning down into her uglies and we will keep you updated with photos as she starts to come out of the uglies. She is now 13 weeks old and goes for her 2nd shot this weekend.
Update 5/14/07: Tiny is now eating dry food all the time, either puppy or adult Purina One, and she has so much boundless energy. She runs and plays with Squeaky and Squeaky lets her climb all over her and bite on her. I guess Squeaky remembers doing Tina this way when she was small. Tiny is so small still that we have to watch her constantly to see where she is so no one will step on her. She is a little over a pound and has the energy of 4 pups. she is non stop running when she is in a playing mood.
