Thank you for the reminder Kimberly - you're right - there have been ALOT of broken legs lately - and worse...like what happened to Jennifer (JCarlson2004)with her angel Katie.
Our yorkies are fearless and can be impulsive and especially the smaller sized ones...their bones can snap easily and it's up to us to always protect them from hurting themselves.
When mine were babies - I have a high bed so I turned a Laundry Basket Upside Down next to the bed - the put a towel on it & tucked into the base of the laundry basket so the towel wouldn't slide - Easy and CHEAP way to prevent bad jumps....
I taught both girls how to step down to the basket from the bed and it worked perfectly - never had one fall or bad jump.... |
