Motley is 5 pounds and was only 2 pounds when I got him. My kids were 8, 10 & 12. When I brought him home I just constantly preached be gentle be careful and everything went fine. Motley absolutely loves my son(the youngest). His favorite thing is to run all around the house trying to catch Chase. When it comes to other kids Motley does not seem to like them
not sure why but he will get aggressive and snap at them. As far as being with my children though he loves them all very much and will take turns sleeping in their beds.
