When he was born , Miracle Milly weighed less than an ounce and fit into a teaspoon , Semler said . Her mouth is too small to nurse from his mother , so Semler gave him milk every two hours with an eyedropper .
He slept in a crib beside Semler 's doll 's bed , growing stronger as the months passed .
The Chihuahua can now receive a baby crib and eat nothing but food cooked by humans .
" He really has like salmon and chicken , " Semler said , noting that he eats four times a day .
