No I do that with Coco. I don't let anyone hold her, they are allowed to pet her, just not hold her. I don't think you were being rude. She wasn't getting the picture. I will get nasty if people don't listen. Ok Coco squirms a lot when she's being held by someone she doesn't know. All it takes if one big squirm and she fallsand hurts herself or even worse. So I don't want to take any chances. You do what you gotta do to protect my surrogate daughter Katie, Jen. Yes she definetely sounded INGORANT..
