Thanks so much Debbie. Because Alli is only 2, she's never been allowed to pick Remy up, because I do know how fragile they can be. Sometimes she can just be over zealous with trying to hug him when she's bending down. I would be heart broken if he got hurt in any way, so I try really hard to teach her the right way to be 'gentle' with him. The breeder that I got him from, here in Arizona, was really nice, knowledgeable and she had very nice looking dogs with good temperaments. So I was very happy with the breeder. I just think that its good to get info from different people because no one knows everything.
I also saw one of your earlier posts about putting money aside for medical emergencies and I totally agree. Thanks so much & Happy New Year!
