Meet Abby, a 1-year-old Yorkie. This little cutie is only 4 lbs; I could put two of her in my purse.
Her tiny frame sparked my curiosity, so I turned to Google to find me the smallest dog in history. It turns out it was actually a Yorkshire Terrier named Sylvie that lived in England from 1943-1945. She weighed 4 ounces, stood 2.5 inches tall, and measured 3.5 inches long. This makes Abby seem a whole lot bigger.
Even so, it still took some effort on her part to climb up to my face, a goal she wouldn’t give up on until she’d licked it. She was so sweet and quiet. So quiet that I didn’t hear a peep from her until we were nearing the end of our photo session. When mom withholds treats for too long, Abby can hit notes higher than Mariah Carey! Makes me wonder what Sylvie sounded like…
