Sweet Sadie is getting fixed tomorrow and I'm a ball of nerves. She weighs 4.5lbs and I always worry about my little ones being under anesthesia.

OC: I lucked out and found her for 25$ at a shelter overflow event. She bonded to me immediately and she’s been great for a slightly older and used … “criminal”

I wanted to semi introduce myself, I am the latest mod to join the mod team here at r/IllegallySmolDogs. Some of my other subs are r/happycryingdads, r/happytears, r/happytoseeyou, and a few others.

We're kinda transitioning the sub to community based post moderation. Any new submissions will have a sticky note at the top of the comments (Like the sticky note attached to this post) asking for member input if all new posts follow the general sub theme of IllegallySmolDogs. If it does, just upvote the comment. If it does not fit the sub, just downvote the comment. This is in addition to up or down voting the post like you always have. A randomized number of downvotes will remove the inappropriate post.

If a post breaks the rules, like SPAM, downvote and report it. We can take appropriate measures.

This way the community has a direct say in the content they want to see here.

If anyone has any other suggestions for improvement send us a message.

Most of all, keep the r/IllegallySmolDogs pics coming.

They’ll probably be no more than 5-10lbs at most 🥺🤭

Context: I have Previously sent an image of Cowen to this subreddit when he was 3 days old, now that he is 9 days of age and has grown, I am able to make an update, he is able to feed on his own and drag himself around very quickly, right how he is sleeping and the mother (Poppy, 1.5 years) is visiting a friend in the same house (Fluffy, 5 years). I will make another post when he grows more fur.
