Standing at a mere three inches and weighing less than a bag of sugar Britain's smallest puppy is so tiny she thinks she's a kitten.
高僅三英寸,重不過一包糖,這只英國體型最小的狗狗是那么的小,以至于它認為自己是只小貓咪。
Disney, a pocket-sized Chihuahua, was part of a litter of three born on January 25 - but hasn't grown since she was eight-weeks-old.
狄斯妮,一只口袋點兒大的吉娃娃,出生于1月25號,與其同胞出生的還有兩兒。而狄斯妮自出生八周后身體就沒再長。
She weighs just 14oz and can be carried around by owner Natalie Vanes, 26, in the palm of her hand.
狄斯妮只有14盎司重,它26歲的主人娜塔莉·維斯可以手捧著狄斯妮到處逛。
The mother-of-one has to keep Disney away from her three other dogs at her home in Coseley, West Midlands, in case they mistake her for a toy.
娜塔莉有一個孩子,家住西米德蘭茲郡的科西利。平日里娜塔莉要將狄斯妮和她的另外三只狗分隔開來,以防這三只狗誤把狄斯妮當玩具。
As a result, Disney forged an inseparable bond with Ms Vanes' pet kitten Kiera and they have been best friends ever since.
于是乎,狄斯妮與維斯女士的寵物貓基拉建立了密不可分的聯(lián)系。它們自此成為彼此最好的朋友。
The pair also sleep together on a heat-mat in a special dog crate, which is kept in Ms Vanes' bedroom, and can fit in a plant-pot together.
狄斯妮和基拉還一起睡在一個特制的狗籠里,共享一張隔熱墊。狗籠放在維斯女士的臥室。它們還能擠在一個植物盆里。
Ms Vanes, who lives with her fiance Stephen, 30, and their five-year-old daughter, said: 'Disney was a normal sized little puppy and was fed and reared by her mum Tinkerbell and didn't really need any special treatment.
維斯女士和她30歲的未婚夫斯蒂芬以及他們五歲大的女兒住在一起。維斯女士說: “狄斯妮這只小可愛,體型正常,由它的媽媽汀科貝爾喂養(yǎng),并不需要特別的照顧。”
'I have to be careful when I take her out, I wrap her in a blanket as she gets cold and no collar is big enough to fit her.“
我?guī)У宜鼓莩鋈サ臅r候必須很小心,為了防止它著涼,我會把它放在一個籃子里,因為沒有大小適合它的項圈。
'She became best friends with Kiera as we needed to keep away from the other dogs in case she got squashed.“
狄斯妮和基拉成了最好的朋友,因為我們要把狄斯妮和其他狗分開以防它被擠壓。”
'They soon became inseparable and would be by each other's side all the time. Disney plays with the tiny fluffy mice toys as dog toys are too big and heavy for her.
狄斯妮和基拉很快就密不可分,總是如影隨形。狄斯妮玩的是小小的毛絨老鼠玩具,因為狗的玩具對它來說太大也太重。
'She also enjoyed stealing Kiera's food, she thought she was a kitten and they snuggle up together as well.'
狄斯妮還很喜歡偷吃基拉的食物,它認為自己就是只小貓咪。它們也會相互依偎在一起?!?/div>
Disney only weighs the same weight of a five-week-old average Chihuahua, which currently makes her the smallest dog in Britain.
狄斯妮只有一只一般五周大的吉娃娃那么重,這使它成為不列顛目前體型最小的狗。
The 14-week-old pup is on course to break a Guinness World Record for the smallest dog if she continues to grow at the same rate.
如果它保持現(xiàn)在的生長速度,這只14周大的小狗即將打破吉尼斯世界紀錄,成為世界上最小的狗。
