Thank-you Nancey1999 and chachi!
Thank-you both for the info on jumping! Minnie wasn't a jumper but now she jumps on and off the sofa easily, she's not managed the bed as it's quite high! I do tend to just scoop her up most of the time but she has taken to wanting to chase the cats when they are running and springs off my lap before I have a chance to catch her! She is starting to learn this is not allowed tho! I will definatly look for something for her to use as a step or make my other half build a ramp - I have never heard of Lp so I will look in to that. I am assuming that is something all dogs can get? I think by the time I have fed her up a little bit she wil be around the 5lb mark. In her self she seems very healthy, she comes for a walk for about 40 mins a day and enjoys that. I know she had a couple of teeth removed - these were baby ones that didn't come out by their selfs, due to their small jaws but I have read this can be a common problem in Yorkies. Her conformation and gait all look very normal too. Minnie was spayed a yr ago by her previous owner so Im glad now from what you said that they didn't breed from her. Thanks again for the info! Amy.
