I had a 3 pounder when my neice was first learning to walk. She loved him and he loved her but low and behold, one day she was toddeling around (kind of staggering like they do when just start walking) and she fell back on her bottom, right on top of my little Shorty. Thank God he was fine, but I can see that point. Also, my neice and nephew are 4 and 7 now. My Otis is a runner, and I get really nervous if they are in the back yard because I KNOW they won't remember to make sure they shut the gate. They just don't pay close enough attention, they're kids!!! Maybe it would be different if he wasn't a runner, maybe not.
