It probably looks rougher then it is. I'm sure your DH would never hurt your baby on purpose and knows the limits of how small she is. She seems to love it and isn't yelping like anything hurts so he must not be as rough as it looks. I get over protective with Roxie too. I'm always afraid she'll hurt herself more then anyone hurting her because she gets so excited. She thinks she's super woman and can jump off of everything and gets going so fast. Good luck learning to deal with it, I know you hate to spoil their fun and their bond. Have your husband reassure you that he's careful and remind him of how much it costs to have her fixed if she breaks something. Money usually talks!
