Jackson was about 4 1/2 pounds when I brought him home at 9 weeks and I remember thinking he was SO tiny! I had to watch him so closely. I could easily just pick him up with one hand and carry him around. I couldn't imagine having to do that for the rest of his life with constant worrying about him, if he was going to get hurt, etc. I still have those worries like I would even if I had a 40 pound dog lol but it's different. At his 12 week appt, he was 6 pounds and was SO small to me so I really can't imagine having one much smaller for it's whole life. Jackson is a very study little guy, he can jump up and down my bed, the couches, etc and he's absolutely fine. He can easily play with the neighbors Bulldog, the Golden Retriever next door, etc. I don't know, it's just hard for me to imagine caring for a 2 or 3 pound dog for the rest of it's life.
