[Lopsi]

My little girl is 5. When we first got Pixie, my daughter tripped and fell and broke Pixie's little arm in 4 places. She ended up having reconstructive surgery to reconstruct her elbow. It was a horrible experience, but one we learned a valuable lesson from.
We now know how fragile our little Pixie is, and the rule ever since has been "Don't touch my dog without my permission"... essentially. If my daughter is sitting on the floor and Pixie is jumping on her, she's allowed to pet her, but not ever pick her up. She also knows what she did to Pixie and watched everything that Pixie went through. She is very, very cautious around Pixie and won't hardly let her friends touch her because she's scared that they'll break her.
We recently got another yorkie who is over 7 lbs - a big change from our little 4 lb Pixie. We are much more comfortable with my daughter playing with Bogey than we ever were with Pixie. She still does not pick him up, but we at least let her play with him and pet him. Now that she's turning 6 and has been doing so well with our dogs and recently lost her cat to extenuating circumstances, we told her she could get a pet of her choice. She's requesting a yorkie, but we are purposely looking for a larger one like Bogey, if not bigger.
