Gwen is only 2lbs 2ozs at 3 years old and there are definetly disadvantages. You have to be so careful not to hurt them. If I even pick Gwen up the wrong way she cry's out. They have a lot more health issues which means a whole lot more vet bills. Gwen's really really hard to housebreak, because she's so small. She hates the grass because it engulfs her, and will only go outside on the patio, if she even goes outside. It's hot down here in Florida, but we have to be extra careful with the air-conditioning and fans because she does get chills. She get nervous very easy, and needs constant attention and reassurance. All the said, Gwen is wonderful. We love her more than I can express, and wouldn't trade her for the world. Just tell your friend their a lot more work and time, and if she doesn't have it, don't go for the teeny tiny ones. |
