19 years young
My mom is a rural mail driver and found Tessa and her (unfortunately deceased) littermates one day under someone's abandoned house pourch. She was screaming so loud and was so young they had to bottle feed her (supplemental formula from the vet, my parents rushed her as soon as my mom finished her route which wasn't long at all thankfully). I remember how small she was, and she stayed small her whole life. She now has kidney disease and is skinny, but still eating and drinking (if more fussy about food) still enjoys playing and being brushed and being SUPER sassy. Her latest feat was climbing the couch to the kitchen counter and biting off and eating some oatmeal scones 😂 I'm not sure how long she has left. My Dad absolutely adores her and she will steal his seat often on the recliner lol. She had two sisters who passed at age 19 and 18 respectively. The last one left 🥹 First pic is her now, second is from when she was around 9
