I agree. Chloe is perfectly healthy, but is obviously very fragile. I'm always afraid to step on her or drop her.
In fact, a couple weeks ago she jumped out of my arms and hit the floor and I was sooooooo scared because of her size (she's fine) and was totally freaking out calling every on-call vet in the area. Would I have done that with my 50lbs Basset Hound? Probably not because she's bigger...unless, of course she had signs of injury.
