Burch,
As a fellow Papillon owner I can understand what you are going through. These Little Pups are really a different type of Pup as they act more like a Cat than a Dog. When Sandi was given to us, she was the result of an unplanned breeding, I had no idea what to expect. This little fur ball worked her way into my heart and I can not even imagine what life would be without her.
Our Little Sandi (Lady Sandra Lew of Sunnyside, to be exact) has a lose Kneecap which I have been told is common with this breed. Luckly she had only had problems with it twicw but man what a scream when it happened! Sandi is a bit of a baby when it comes to pain and whenever she is hurting she wants to be held by me and only me, much to my Wife's displeasure.
These Pups bring so much love to our lives that it really hurts us when they are hurting.
We all will be sending Good Thoughts and Prayers for Little Monty.
We got both our Papillons from an unplanned breading as well. My wife wanted a little toy size Papillon. She contacted a local breeder who just happened to have two Papillon puppies. She thought that the mother dog had been fixed but she wasn't. We went to look at the little girl and the breeder tricked me and said "you hold on to the male puppy while I get the little one for your wife". Needless to say, we came home with both little pups. Monty grew like crazy but Lola stayed small. She is only 5lbs but Monty is now 23lbs. He is overweight but even when he is slim, he is still almost 20lbs. He is very tall. He is my boy and he is always at my feet.
I have an appointment on October 25th with a surgeon in Tampa. I really want to get him fixed so I can take him on walks again. He loves taking long walks.
Here is a picture of my buddy with his little sister.
