There is no question that their little joints can be a problem. But it can be a problem preventing them from jumping off things!
Quite frankly, I have given up with Higgins. He just FLIES off sofas, beds, chairs with the greatest of ease. The good thing is that he eats healthy food and gets LOTS of exercise. We live in the country on a dead end dirt road and he RUNS from morning 'til night. And we play tug and fetch with him all day long until our arms fall off. Consequently, he is SOLID MUSCLE! And I am counting on those muscles and strong bones to protect those tender joints.
Oh.....WELCOME TO YORKIETALK!!!! We are just delighted that you are here!
If you can figure out how (I can't get it to work, but Don and Bettyeanne can), post a picture of Casey! How lovely that you have him and he has a nice new home with you! They are the best little dogs and you will be totally smitten with him in no time! |
