I have 3 of the most social little dogs. We do a lot of RV camping and when we get everything set up (which consists of a large x-pen area with cabanas, toys, etc), it attracts so many other campers. The younger girls mostly want to come and visit with the dogs which I welcome. First thing they ask is to hold them....... I tell them that they can get in the pen with them and sit down and play instead of picking them up..... I think they like that even better than picking them up.... so everyone wins! (especially the dogs.... they LOVE all the attention! ) It also gives me the opportunity to tell them about the breed.... (including injuries from drops/falls)
