How tiny is 'tiny' ? Our new rescue yorkie-poo is 6lbs, 7oz and although full of energy and apparently healthy, she is 'tiny' to me. Our last dog was 50lbs of solid muscle so Sugar Bear's little paws, etc., seem fragile in comparison. Is she the size everyone is concerned about?

Like the OP, she is also a jumper - straight up and down, sometimes on all fours, sometimes boinging up and down on her hind legs like a kangaroo. If we hadn't decided to keep her 'Sugar' name, we would have called her 'Roo (even though she's more like Tigger : )

She can jump on the couch and even a pillowtop bed but we quickly taught her those were off-limits. She does, however, try to use the kitchen chairs to jump onto the table so we have to move them away from the table overnight or whenever we are away.
